President Donald Trump on Friday terminated Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown Jr., the nation’s highest-ranking army officer, from his place.
Brown Jr.’s dismissal comes amid a wave of administration shakeups as a part of the president’s campaign to reshape the federal authorities.
“I need to thank Normal Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for his over 40 years of service to our nation, together with as our present Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers. He’s a effective gentleman and an impressive chief, and I want a fantastic future for him and his household,” Trump wrote in a post on Fact Social.
Brown has held the publish since Oct. 2023, after he was nominated by then-President Joe Biden.
Trump stated he plans to appoint Air Drive Gen. Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to exchange Brown, calling him “an achieved pilot, nationwide safety knowledgeable, profitable entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with important interagency and particular operations expertise.”
