US War Secretary Pete Hegseth fires American army chief in latest removal amid Iran war
The US Army Chief of Staff Randy George has been asked to step down by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Mr Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved quickly to reshape the department, firing senior generals and admirals as he seeks to implement President Trump's national security agenda.
It is not yet known why Mr Hegseth has decided to fire Mr George.
Mr George, an infantry officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was confirmed to the top Army post in 2023. Terms in that role usually run for four years.
