President Donald Trump has dismissed General Charles “CQ” Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest-ranking military officer in the United States, as part of a sweeping overhaul of the Pentagon’s top leadership. In a social media post, Trump thanked General Brown for his over 40 years of service but announced the removal of five other senior officers, signaling a significant shift in military leadership.

General CQ Brown’s Historic Tenure Comes to an End

General Brown, the second Black officer in U.S. history to hold the prestigious role of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, advised both the president and the secretary of defense on critical national security matters. His dismissal follows criticism from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who accused Brown of prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs over the military’s core mission.

Additional Senior Officers Fired in Pentagon Overhaul

On Friday, Defense Secretary Hegseth announced the removal of two other high-ranking officers: Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the Navy, and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Jim Slife. All three officers were appointed by former President Joe Biden.

In a statement, Hegseth emphasized the Trump administration’s focus on reshaping military leadership to prioritize national defense, saying

“Under President Trump, we are putting in place new leadership that will focus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting, and winning wars,” he said.

President Trump announced his intention to nominate Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine as the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A seasoned F-16 pilot, General Caine most recently served as the CIA’s associate director for military affairs.

General Brown’s Legacy and Controversial DEI Initiatives

General Brown’s dismissal comes at a time when ongoing debates about diversity and inclusion in the military are raging. In 2020, he gained national attention for speaking out about racial inequality following the death of George Floyd. As Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Brown co-signed a memo in 2022 outlining diversity goals to increase minority officer applicants while reducing the proportion of white candidates, according to Air Force Time.

Colin Powell, the first Black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, served from 1989 to 1993. Brown’s removal marks another significant moment in the history of military leadership.
