Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take early retirement, Pentagon officials confirmed, removing the officer who had led the service since August 2023. The action — taken amid the United States' war with Iran — has been reported as a wartime, politically driven shake‑up of the Army’s top uniformed leadership rather than a routine succession.
