The transitional team of US President Donald Trump is preparing radical staffing changes in the Pentagon, which can lead to large -scale purges among the United States Chiefs Committee. According to Reuters, Trump considers the possibility of dismissing officers who had a connection with the former chairman of the committee Mark Millie, who had previously been critical of him.
Sources report that the lists for release are still at the initial stage, but this may be an unprecedented change in the Pentagon leadership. According to one source, Trump intends to reboot the ministry to remove the military who supported political opponents or made conflicting decisions, including the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
During the election campaign, Trump repeatedly promised to release the generals who opposed him, including those who had ties with General Millie. Millie himself, in Bob Woodward's book "The War", called Trump "fascist to the bones", which caused a wave of criticism from supporters of the expatriate.
"Every officer appointed or highly high will leave his position," the source said, adding that the Trump team is a "detailed list" for these changes. Both the army, fleet, marines, and leaders of the National Guard and Space Forces are considered. If these release is supported by Trump, they can be an unprecedented step to reformat the US Armed Forces leadership.
