In a historic and unprecedented move, the Trump administration on Friday night fired the Joint Chiefs chairman, the Navy‘s top officer, the Air Force vice chief of staff, and the judge advocates general of three service branches.

President Donald Trump, in a social media post, announced the firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown and nominated currently retired and little known Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to take the post.

Then, minutes later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that he had fired the Navy’s top officer — Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to hold the post — as well as the Air Force’s second-highest officer, Gen. James Slife.
