After the victory of the former American president in the presidential election in the United States, the news of Donald Trump and his loyalists are intertwined on the world scene. Elon Musk, who criticized Donald Trump in the past, found his way into the White House, while now there are reports that top positions in the Pentagon, such as the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, etc., are going to be furloughed because Donald With Trump assuming the presidency, several officers including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be dismissed.
In the United States, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the head of the armed forces.
According to the foreign news agency “Reuters”, two independent sources confirmed that a list has been prepared, including the name of the chairman of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, who will be dismissed.
It should be noted that Trump will take office as the President of the United States on November 5, and a source in his new administration confirmed that the news of a major change in the Pentagon has caused a stir throughout the organization and that the list being prepared is small. There is also the possibility of change.
Earlier in his election campaign, Donald Trump has given a threatening message to the military journals that criticized the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
Another source said the incoming administration would likely focus on U.S. military officers linked to Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley.
Mark Milley was quoted in Bob Woodward’s book “War,” published last month, as describing Trump as “fundamentally fascist” and Trump’s allies considering him to be with the former president. He was targeted for infidelity.
Another source said that any person or official who received a position from Mark Milley will be fired. According to sources, the list of people who have been supported by Mark Milley is long.
It should be noted that the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest position in the US military and includes the heads of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Space Force.
The plans to fire senior leaders of the US armed forces were revealed a day before the presidential election, when Trump chose Pat Hegseth as his defense secretary.
Pat Hegseth has been a Fox News commentator and veteran who has expressed his intention to purge the Pentagon of undesirables.

What impact could Trump’s personnel decisions in the Pentagon have on U.S. military operations?
**Interview with Dr. Lisa Thompson, Political Analyst and Former Military Advisor**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Thompson. There are significant developments regarding Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, particularly concerning military leadership and personnel decisions. What are your thoughts on the implications of such a shake-up in the Pentagon?
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. Indeed, the implications are far-reaching. The dismissal of high-ranking officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signals a major shift in military policy and command structure. This can lead to instability within the armed forces and may affect operations both domestically and internationally.
**Editor:** It seems that trust and loyalty play pivotal roles in Trump’s administration. How do you see this affecting troop morale and operational effectiveness in the military?
**Dr. Thompson:** Loyalty to leadership is undoubtedly crucial in the military. However, swift changes, especially at the top level, can create uncertainty and anxiety among personnel. If troops perceive that decisions are being made on a political basis rather than a strategic one, it could undermine their confidence in leadership and operational clarity.
**Editor:** Elon Musk’s recent entrance into the political scene has also grabbed headlines. Given his past criticisms of Trump, what should we make of his new role in this administration?
**Dr. Thompson:** Musk is a complex figure whose business acumen is remarkable. His involvement could indicate a shift toward innovative, tech-driven military strategies. However, one must question whether his relationship with Trump can withstand the scrutiny that comes from their prior disagreements. His role could be pivotal if he can bridge some divides and offer fresh perspectives, specifically in areas like defense technology.
**Editor:** There are also implications for international relations as Trump regains power. What should we expect regarding America’s stance on global military partnerships?
**Dr. Thompson:** Trump has historically taken an unpredictable approach to international relations. With his return, we might see a more isolationist policy, questioning longstanding alliances and agreements. This could embolden adversaries while unsettling allies. It’s crucial for military leaders to have a cohesive strategy to manage these dynamics, which could be difficult with a reshuffled command structure.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights on this complex and evolving situation. Let’s hope for clarity in the coming months regarding leadership in the military and overall governance in the U.S.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. It’s certainly a time to watch closely.
