US President Donald Trump has dismissed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Brown, the country's highest-ranking officer, as part of a major shake-up of senior military leadership.
"I want to thank General Charles 'CQ' Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country," Trump said on social media. He said five other senior officers were also being replaced.
General Brown was the second black officer to hold the post, which also advises the president and the secretary of defense on national security.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has previously said that General Brown should be fired because of his "smart" focus on diversity, equality and inclusion programs in the military.
Later, Hegseth announced the dismissal of two other senior officers: Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Jim Slife. Adm. Franchetti was the first woman to lead the U.S. Navy.
