US Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George Ousted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has removed US Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George from his position, according to reports.

Gen. George was the top officer in the US Army and served as the Chief of Staff since 2021. However, it appears that Hegseth has requested his resignation.

The reason for George’s removal is not clear, but it comes amid tensions between the Pentagon and the White House over various issues, including the ongoing war in Iran.

Hegseth has been a key figure in the Trump administration’s defense policy, and his decision to remove Gen. George may be seen as an attempt to exert more control over the military.

Gen. George will now step down from his position as Chief of Staff, and it is unclear who will take his place.

The Pentagon has declined to comment on the matter, citing a lack of information.
