US President Trump also wants to surround himself in the Pentagon management team with self-selected people. Highly deserved staff, which predecessor Joe Biden selected, has to give way.
Contrary to the tradition of maintaining the previous occupation of the top military post, US President Donald Trump has determined a new chief of staff for the US armed forces. He would like to thank Charles Q. Brown for 40 years in the service of the country-also in his position-and wish him and his family a “great future”, Trump wrote on his online language tube Truth Social. As a successor on the post directly provided to the US defense minister, Trump nominated the former air force general leader Dan Caine.
In the event of a change of government, the occupation of the chief of staff had usually been retained. According to the “New York Times”, Brown was only the second African American on the top post. According to this, Trump’s Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth said shortly after his own official nomination that Brown should be released in his view-because of his focus on diversity, equal treatment and inclusion topics in the US military, the newspaper wrote.

The government dismissed a total of six top executives in the Pentagon, including Navy boss Lisa Franchetti, the first woman at the head of the US Navy.
Caine praised Trump for Truth Social as “experienced pilots, national security experts, successful entrepreneurs and war collectors”. In the fight against the terrorist militia is in Iraq, Caine “delivered” and ensured that the so -called caliphate was wiped out in record time. Despite his high qualifications, Caine was ignored by the previous government under Joe Biden when filling the top posts, Trump wrote. “But not now!”
According to the “New York Times”, Caine would have to be returned to the service as a soldier in retirement in order to become chief of staff. The US Senate also has to confirm the line-up.
