Trump Shakes Up Military Leadership, Fires General Charles 'CQ' Brown
US President Donald Trump has dismissed General Charles 'CQ' Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, amid a major overhaul of top military leadership. This move follows criticism from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Brown's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the military. Trump has announced plans to nominate retired Air Force Lt Gen Dan Caine as Brown's replacement, signaling a shift in military priorities towards its core mission.
