The Pentagon is preparing for a major military reorganization plan
Washington - The Washington Post reported on Monday that U.S. officials are developing a military reorganization plan proposed by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, which will reduce the number of four-star generals and merge some international command centers.
The newspaper cited five informed sources, saying that if the plan is approved, it would be one of the most significant changes in the U.S. military's top ranks in decades.
According to the plan, officials will "lower" the "importance" of the U.S. Central Command, the U.S. European Command, and the U.S. Africa Command, placing them under the jurisdiction of a new agency called the "U.S. International Command."
The report also said that the plan will cut the number of generals and admirals who report directly to Hegseth.
A senior defense official familiar with the discussions told The Washington Post that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kelly, is expected to submit the plan to Hegseth in the coming days.
The Trump administration has already dismissed a series of senior officers this year.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered in May of this year that the number of active-duty four-star generals and admirals be reduced by at least 20%.
In early December, the Trump administration released a national security strategy, which marks a complete shift in U.S. policy and claims "everything we do is in the interest of the United States."
