(Amerika) Streitkräfte der USA - allg. Sammelthread

[Quintus Fabius]

Kein Wunder, dass man aus dem Pentagon heraus aktuell mit allen Mitteln gegen Hegseth kämpft, da er seine Pläne die Anzahl der hochrangigen Offiziere drastisch zu reduzieren nun tatsächlich umsetzen wird:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plans to slash the number of senior military leaders across the services would cut more than 120 high-ranking officer jobs in the active duty and National Guard, including as many as nine top general slots.

Based on the percentages outlined by Hegseth and his senior staff, 20% of the 44 authorized top active duty general and admiral jobs would be eliminated, along with 10% of the more than 800 one-, two- and three-star positions, according to numbers compiled by The Associated Press.

The cuts — about nine positions among four-star generals and 80 jobs across the other leadership levels — would affect dozens of active duty officers scattered across the five services as well as those who are in joint command jobs, such as those overseeing Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The changes would eliminate 33 senior National Guard positions.

Das erklärt natürlich sehr weitgehend die vielen Intrigenspielchen und Indiskretionen der letzten Wochen welche fortwährend aus dem Pentagon an die Presse gestochen wurden.

“More generals and admirals does not equal more success,” Hegseth said in a video describing his plan. “This is not a slash and burn exercise meant to punish high-ranking officers. Nothing could be further from the truth. This has been a deliberative process.”

Calling it the “Less Generals, More GIs” plan, he said the department will make “prudent reductions.”

Es gibt schon die ersten Ankündigen von Klagen von hochrangigen Offizieren. Was für Soldaten - sobald ihnen etwas nicht passt kommen Anwalt und Gerichtsverfahren - wie in dieser Bundeswehr auch.
