Hegseth purges Army leadership

General Randy George was asked to step down effective immediately, months ahead of his planned retirement next year.

Hegseth has reportedly intervened in the promotions of over a dozen senior officers, targeting individuals based on perceived political affiliations or demographic factors.

Christopher LaNeve has been named as the likely successor to lead the Army during this period of transition.

These dismissals occur as the US military remains actively engaged in strikes against Iranian targets.
