US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, marking the latest round of purges within the department, has forced the resignation of high-ranking general Brett Silvia, who served as the Director of Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Pentagon.
elchi reports that the newspaper “The Washington Post” (WP) wrote about this.
“Lieutenant General Brett Silvia served as the Director for Joint Staff, Strategy, Plans, and Policy, reporting to General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. On Wednesday evening, Caine’s staff released a statement thanking Silvia for his 32 years of service, without explaining the reasons for his departure.”
According to the information, Hegseth’s decision has caused discontent among his colleagues at the Pentagon, as the general was considered one of the most thoughtful and experienced leaders in the army.
In September of this year, “The Economist” wrote that Hegseth has strengthened his control over the Pentagon after a series of personnel purges in the army. According to the publication, the politician has dismissed at least 24 admirals and generals since taking office. Many of them were dismissed without any explanation. Currently, the US Army has no Senate-confirmed chief of staff, secretary, or commander of European forces.
