Washington (Reuters)-Donald Trump dismissed the president of the joint state, Air Force General CQ Brown, last Friday, and dismissed five other admirals and generals in an unprecedented reformulation of the leadership of the armed forces of the state United.
Trump stated in a social truth publication that he would indicate former Lyne-General Dan “Razin” Caine to succeed Brown, breaking the tradition by taking someone out of the reserve for the first time to become the main military officer.
The president will also replace the US Navy head, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead military service, as well as the deputy chief of the Air Force, according to the Pentagon. It will also remove the attorney-general judges from the Army, Navy and Air Force, critical positions to ensure the application of Military Justice.
Trump’s decision is the kick -off of a period of turbulence in the Pentagon, which was already preparing for mass layoffs of civil servants, a dramatic reformulation of his budget and changes in military mobilization under the new foreign foreign policy (America First ”( Trump’s “US First”).
Although Pentagon’s civil leadership changes from one government to the other, members of the US Armed Forces must be apolitical, executing the policies of Democratic and Republican governments.
Brown, according to a military officer to become the president’s main uniform military counselor, was in a four -year term that would end in September 2027.
