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.

How might the evolving relationship between Trump and Elon Musk impact U.S. military strategy and technology initiatives?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Emily Carter**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Carter. As we witness Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, there seems to be significant turbulence within the U.S. military leadership. Can you shed some light on the implications of this potential mass furlough of top Pentagon officials?
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me. Indeed, the prospect of Donald Trump reorganizing military leadership is quite concerning for a number of reasons. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff plays a critical role in not just military operations, but also in maintaining a stable relationship between the military and civilian leadership. A mass furlough could lead to significant disruptions in command and operational readiness.
**Editor:** With reports suggesting that Trump is eyeing the dismissal of key officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, how do you think these changes will affect military policy and national security?
**Dr. Carter:** If these dismissals take place, we could see a shift towards a more aggressive military posture aligned with Trump’s vision. His past unpredictability raises concerns among allies and could lead to a re-evaluation of U.S. commitments abroad. Military personnel may feel unsettled, impacting morale and cohesion, which are crucial during times of strategic uncertainty.
**Editor:** There’s also the interesting dynamic between Trump and Elon Musk, who was a vocal critic of him in the past. How do you view this relationship evolving now that Musk has this significant influence in the executive landscape?
**Dr. Carter:** Their relationship illustrates the evolving nature of alliances in American politics. Musk’s entry into the White House could signal a more technology-forward approach to military strategy, potentially impacting everything from defense spending to cybersecurity initiatives. However, it’s essential to watch how that transition unfolds, as past criticisms might still linger and create friction within the administration.
**Editor:** what can the American public expect in terms of governance and policy direction if these changes to military leadership go through?
**Dr. Carter:** The public can expect a steep learning curve as new leaders adapt and implement their own policies. This could result in more pronounced shifts in defense strategies and international relations. Transparency will be critical, as citizens will need to understand the rationale behind such sweeping changes to trust in their military leadership amidst such a contentious environment.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your insights on this evolving situation. It’s clear that we are entering a very dynamic phase in U.S. politics and military affairs.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me. It will indeed be interesting to watch how this all unfolds.
