Pentagon plans major shake-up of military leadership

A proposed overhaul of the U.S. military would cut its number of regional headquarters and cull generals and admirals, according to a U.S. media report.

Citing people familiar with the matter, The Washington Post reported that senior Pentagon officials were looking to downsize some of its military headquarters and shift the balance of power among its top brass.

The Pentagon told Newsweek in a statement Tuesday it would not comment on “rumored internal discussions.”
