US President Donald Trump has fired co -chairman CQ Brown, the highest ranking officer in the country as part of the main shaking of the top military leadership.
Trump said, “Thank you for providing more than 40 years of service to General Charles’ CQ ‘CQ’ Brown. He said five other top police officers are being replaced.
The Brown generation was the second black officer in charge of the position, and the holder advised the president and the Secretary of Defense on the national security.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the Brown General should be fired, focusing on the military’s diversity, equity and included programs.
Later on Friday, hegseth announced the dismissal of two additional senior executives: Naval Operation ADM Lisa Franchetti and Vice President of Air Force General.
ADM Franchetti was the first woman to lead the US Navy.
All three police officers who were removed on Friday were appointed by Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden.
HegSeth said in a statement: “In Trump, we are focusing on our army on the core mission of stopping and fighting war.”
Trump said he would nominate Dan Cain Air Force, the most recent CIA deputy director, DAN CAINE, a pilot.
Last year, at a conservative political action meeting, Trump recalled his first meeting in Iraq. Trump told the audience, “He looked better than the actor you can get.”
In the same speech, he praised the US military but said, “I woke up from the summit.”
General Brown visited the army on the southern border on Friday, and about two hours before Trump announced his departure, he visited the army about two hours ago.
Rumors were swirling this week that the president will remove the commander, which will expire in 2027.
Gen Brown made a headline by talking about race with the death of George Floyd in 2020.
He posted video messages to the US Air Force, which explains the pressure he felt as one of a few blacks in his troops, including raising questions about his credentials.
In 2022, the Air Force Chief of Staff jointly signed a notes that set a variety of goals to increase the proportion of minority officers and reduce the ratio of white candidates. According to the Air Force Times.
Colin Powell has been the first black president of the co-chief of staff since 1989-93.
One of Trump’s first acts, which sweared last month, was to dismiss the first female commander of the coastal guards and quote “Excessive Focus.”
In November, before he was confirmed, HegSeth said in a podcast that the Trump administration had a lot of problems in the army, including the “correct” diversity initiative.
HegSeth said, “First of all, you had to dismiss the chairman of the co -chief,” he said, explaining the steps that Trump should take.
The Pentagon also announced that it will cut the budget on Friday. Leave 5,400 protection staff next week.
Maryland’s federal courts, meanwhile, temporarily blocked Trump’s ban on diversity, equity and included programs.
Adam Abelson, a local judge, has ruled that Trump’s instructions can infringe on the US constitution’s free speech.
