The US Defense Secretary, Pat Hagerty, has relieved General Randy George of his duties as the Chief of Staff, according to reports from American TV. The decision is reportedly aimed at finding a new military chief who can implement President Trump’s vision and align with the President’s stance on military matters. General Randy George, a senior military assistant to former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, had served during the Biden administration and was involved in several significant conflicts, including the Gulf War, Iraq War, and Afghanistan.
Typically, the US Chief of Staff is appointed for a four-year term, but General Randy George was expected to serve until 2027, having secured Senate approval in 2023. Vice-Chief of Staff, Christopher Launeau, who has been Hagerty’s military aide, will act as the interim Chief of Staff.
