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 dismissal of high-ranking military officials affect U.S. national defense strategies?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Middleton**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Middleton. The recent announcement of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy leading a new “Department of Government Efficiency” under President Trump has raised eyebrows. What are your thoughts on this development?
**Dr. Middleton:** Thank you for having me. It is indeed a surprising move, especially considering Musk’s past criticisms of Trump. This new department seems aimed at reshaping government operations with an emphasis on efficiency, which aligns with Trump’s business-first mentality. However, it raises questions about the blending of tech industry leaders into significant government roles.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of blending roles, there are reports that several high-ranking military officials could be dismissed, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. What implications does this have for national security?
**Dr. Middleton:** It’s significant. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff plays a crucial role in advising the President on military matters. Furloughing or replacing such key figures could lead to instability within the armed forces at a time when national security demands consistency. There’s also the potential for conflict between the military and the new civilian leadership, especially if the incoming administration pushes a drastic policy agenda.
**Interviewer:** Trump’s administration is often characterized by its controversial and unprecedented choices. How does this pattern fit into his overall strategy as he embarks on this new term?
**Dr. Middleton:** Trump’s strategy has always been about shaking up the establishment. By appointing figures like Musk and Ramaswamy—outsiders to traditional politics—he signals a desire to disrupt the status quo, which may appeal to his base. However, this could alienate traditionalists within the Republican Party and exacerbate divisions in Congress during an already polarized political climate.
**Interviewer:** Do you think this new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ will actually lead to meaningful changes in how the government operates?
**Dr. Middleton:** It’s difficult to say definitively. The concept of government efficiency is certainly appealing, and Musk’s entrepreneurial background could bring innovative ideas. However, translating that into effective policy is another challenge altogether. The complexity of government bureaucracy and the need for bipartisan cooperation can stifle even the best intentions.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Dr. Middleton. It looks like the upcoming administration will certainly keep us on our toes.
**Dr. Middleton:** Thank you! It’s definitely going to be an interesting time in U.S. politics.
