US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to announce reductions of as much as 20% in the number of generals and admirals, according to officials, in a sweeping effort to reshape the military's top ranks. The move is drawing attention amid ongoing debates over military readiness and the Trump administration's broader defense priorities.
