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 are the potential impacts of Donald Trump’s return on U.S. military strategy and operations?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Mitchell**
**Editor**: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Mitchell. With the recent developments surrounding Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, can you give us an overview of what this means for the Pentagon and military leadership in the U.S.?
**Dr. Mitchell**: Absolutely, thank you for having me. Trump’s return has certainly stirred significant changes within the Pentagon. Reports indicate that a major reshuffling of leadership is imminent, with high-ranking officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, likely to be dismissed. This could fundamentally alter military strategy and operations moving forward.
**Editor**: That’s quite dramatic. How unusual is it for a newly elected president to make such sweeping changes to military leadership?
**Dr. Mitchell**: It’s not unprecedented, but it’s unusual for such drastic measures to be taken so quickly post-election. Typically, changes in military leadership occur more gradually and with careful consideration. Trump’s administration previously viewed military leadership through a lens of loyalty, and it appears he may be pursuing a similar path now.
**Editor**: Speaking of loyalty, Elon Musk’s reported alignment with Trump raises eyebrows, especially given Musk’s previous criticisms. How do you see his role evolving in this new political landscape?
**Dr. Mitchell**: Musk’s entry into Trump’s circle could reflect a strategic partnership that merges technology and military endeavors. As the landscape of defense evolves, having influential voices like Musk can drive innovation within the military. However, their past disagreements bring complexity to the relationship—how they navigate this could impact both their futures.
**Editor**: Lastly, what implications do you foresee this leadership overhaul having on U.S. military actions globally?
**Dr. Mitchell**: A shift in military leadership can lead to a change in priorities and strategies, potentially affecting U.S. engagement in international conflicts. If Trump leans towards his previous policies, we may see a more unilateral approach in global affairs, possibly heightening tensions with adversarial nations. The military’s role under new leadership will be crucial to watch, as it could have widespread ramifications on international relations.
**Editor**: Thank you, Dr. Mitchell. We appreciate your insights into this evolving situation.
**Dr. Mitchell**: My pleasure. Thank you for having me.
