In the one-page memo, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2025\/May\/05\/2003704210\/-1\/-1\/1\/MEMORANDUM-DIRECTING-GENERAL-AND-FLAG-OFFICER-REDUCTIONS.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">posted<\/a> on the Defense Department&#8217;s website, Hegseth said that to &#8220;drive innovation and operational excellence, the military must be &#8220;unencumbered by unnecessary bureaucratic layers that hinder their growth and effectiveness,&#8221; and part of achieving this &#8220;is removing redundant force structure to optimize and streamline leadership by reducing excess general and flag officer positions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth announced the memo in a video on X, vowing, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to shift resources from bloated headquarters elements to our warfighters.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He did not give a timeline for the cuts but said they would be carried out &#8220;expeditiously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are currently 38 four-star generals or admirals, as of March 31, 2025, according to Defense Department data. CNN first\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.channel3000.com\/news\/hegseth-orders-pentagon-to-cut-number-of-senior-generals-by-20\/article_c3ff5f1c-ac79-5521-a7a8-8bad6631e1f0.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reported<\/a> Hegseth&#8217;s memo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth has raised questions about the number of top military officers in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We won World War II with seven four-star generals. Today we have 44,&#8221; Hegseth said at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/video\/951876\/defense-secretary-pete-hegseth-hosts-town-hall-meeting-pentagon-feb-7-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">town hall<\/a> at the Pentagon in February. &#8220;Do all of those directly contribute to warfighting success? Maybe they do \u2014 I don&#8217;t know \u2014 but it&#8217;s worth reviewing to make sure they do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
