US war sec. urges Army Chief of Staff to step down

TEHRAN, Apr. 03 (MNA) – US War Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and immediately retire.

Hegseth wanted someone in the role who would implement US President Donald Trump and Hegseth's vision for the US Army, Anadolu Agency reported.

In 2021-2022, under the Biden administration, George served as senior military assistant to then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

The current vice chief of staff of the Army, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, formerly Hegseth's military aide, will likely be considered as a replacement, the report added.
