In a historic reorganization of US military leadership, President Donald Trump dismissed Air Force General CQ Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and dismissed five other admirals and generals on Friday.
In an article on Truth Social, Trump announced that he would select former Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to replace Brown, defying convention by bringing someone out of retirement for the first time to hold the position of top military leader.
According to the Pentagon, the president will also succeed the deputy chief of staff of the air force and the head of the US Navy, which was previously occupied by Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female leader of a military service.
