美国战争部长皮特·赫格塞特将于周三在《部队状况》演讲中宣布，将将军与海军上将的编制岗位裁减20%。
据福克斯新闻数字频道获取的备忘录显示，赫格塞特已于本月早些时候批准了陆军、海军、空军以及美军联合参谋部的裁减计划。各军种被要求落实该计划，并在2027年1月1日前完成裁减工作。
周三在弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科发表的演讲预计将阐述赫格塞特未来一年的军队工作重点，其中高级领导岗位裁减是他即将公布的改革内容之一。
此次新的裁减目标是赫格塞特去年为精简美军高级领导层而推行的将将军与海军上将岗位总体裁减10%计划的两倍。此前的指令还分别要求将现役四星上将岗位裁减20%，并将国民警卫队将官岗位裁减20%。

赫格塞特将此前的改革称为“少些将军，多些士兵”，他认为削减高级总部岗位能够将资源和权力下放给更贴近实战的部队。
一位国防部消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，最新的裁减计划针对的是将军与海军上将的编制岗位，而非将现有将官队伍整体裁减20%。
至少有部分岗位将被降职而非直接撤销。在9月16日批准联合参谋部岗位裁减的备忘录中，赫格塞特指示官员为拟降职的将官岗位设立O-6级任职要求，允许上校和海军上尉担任这些职务。

此次演讲恰好是赫格塞特召集全球数百名将军和海军上将前往弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科举行特别会议的一周年。在那次会议上，他阐述了对军队高级领导人的期望，并警告那些不支持其改革的人主动辞职。
赫格塞特一直主张，裁减将军与海军上将的人数能够剔除不必要的官僚层级，将权力下放至指挥链下层。

“这并非旨在惩罚高级军官的破坏性裁员行动，”赫格塞特在2025年5月宣布首次裁减计划时表示，“这是一个深思熟虑的过程，我们与参谋长联席会议合作，目标只有一个：通过审慎裁减将官队伍，最大化战略战备水平和作战效能。”

今年的参会人员将有所不同。根据五角大楼内部活动指导文件的公开报道，各军事司令部被要求派遣符合体能和身体成分要求、保持“无可挑剔”的仪容和着装标准的优秀士兵参会。部分获选参会的士兵还将与赫格塞特一同进行体能训练。
EXCLUSIVE: Hegseth to double cuts to generals, admirals in major Pentagon shakeup

War Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce plans to reduce by 20% the number of positions reserved for generals and admirals during his State of the Force address on Wednesday.
Hegseth approved reduction plans for the Army, Navy, Air Force and the military’s joint pool earlier this month, according to memos seen by Fox News Digital. The services were directed to implement the plans and complete the reductions by Jan. 1, 2027.
Wednesday’s address in Quantico, Va. is expected to lay out Hegseth’s priorities for the military in the year ahead, with the reduction in senior leadership positions among the changes he will unveil.
The new target doubles the 10% overall reduction in general and flag officer positions Hegseth ordered last year as part of his effort to streamline the military’s senior ranks. That earlier directive separately called for a 20% reduction in active-duty four-star positions and a 20% reduction in National Guard general officers.

Hegseth dubbed that effort “less generals, more GIs,” arguing that reducing senior headquarters positions would push resources and authority toward troops closer to the fight.
The latest reductions apply to billets — positions designated for generals and admirals — rather than an across-the-board removal of 20% of the officers currently serving in those ranks, a War Department source told Fox News Digital.
At least some of the positions will be downgraded rather than eliminated altogether. In a Sept. 16 memo approving reductions to the military’s joint pool, Hegseth directed officials to establish O-6 requirements for general and flag officer positions identified for downgrade, allowing colonels and Navy captains to fill those jobs.

The announcement comes exactly one year after Hegseth summoned hundreds of generals and admirals from around the world to Quantico, Virginia, for an extraordinary gathering where he laid out his expectations for the military’s senior leaders and warned those who did not support his reforms to step aside.
Hegseth has argued that reducing the number of generals and admirals would strip away unnecessary layers of bureaucracy and push authority down the chain of command.

“This is not a slash-and-burn exercise meant to punish high-ranking officers,” Hegseth said when he announced the earlier reductions in May 2025. “This has been a deliberative process, working with the Joint Chiefs of Staff with one goal: maximizing strategic readiness and operational effectiveness by making prudent reductions in the general and flag officer ranks.”

This year’s audience will look different. Military commands have been asked to send top-performing service members who meet fitness and body-composition requirements and maintain “impeccable” grooming and uniform standards, according to published reports on internal Pentagon guidance for the event. Some troops selected to attend are also expected to participate in a workout with Hegseth.
