国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）将在周三发表的“军队状况”演讲中宣布一项计划，将为将军和海军上将预留的职位数量削减20%。
War Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce plans to reduce by 20% the number of positions reserved for generals and admirals during his State of the Force address on Wednesday.
据福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）查阅的备忘录显示，海格塞斯已于本月初批准了陆军、海军、空军及军队联合编制的裁减计划。各军种已被指示执行这些计划，并于2027年1月1日前完成裁减。
Hegseth approved reduction plans for the Army, Navy, Air Force and the military's joint pool earlier this month, according to memos seen by Fox News Digital. The services were directed to implement the plans and complete the reductions by Jan. 1, 2027.
预计周三的“军队状况”演讲将阐述海格塞斯未来一年的军队工作重点，其中削减高级领导职位将是他即将公布的改革措施之一。
Wednesday's State of the Force address is expected to lay out Hegseth's priorities for the military in the year ahead, with the reduction in senior leadership positions among the changes he will unveil.
这一新目标是海格塞斯去年下令削减10%将军和将官职位力度的两倍，这是他精简军队高级军衔努力的一部分。此前的指令还分别要求将现役四星上将职位削减20%，并将国民警卫队将军职位削减20%。
The new target doubles the 10% overall reduction in general and flag officer positions Hegseth ordered last year as part of his effort to streamline the military's senior ranks. That earlier directive separately called for a 20% reduction in active-duty four-star positions and a 20% reduction in National Guard general officers.
参议院共和党人推动基于功绩的军事晋升，目标直指拜登时代的多元化、公平与包容（DEI）政策。海格塞斯将这一努力称为“少些将军，多些士兵”，他认为削减高级指挥部职位将把资源和权力推向更接近战斗前线的部队。
SENATE REPUBLICAN PUSHES MERIT-BASED MILITARY PROMOTIONS, TARGETS BIDEN-ERA DEI POLICIES Hegseth dubbed that effort "less generals, more GIs," arguing that reducing senior headquarters positions would push resources and authority toward troops closer to the fight.
一位国防部消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，最新的裁减适用于编制——即指定给将军和海军上将的职位，而不是全面裁撤目前担任这些军衔的20%的军官。
The latest reductions apply to billets — positions designated for generals and admirals — rather than an across-the-board removal of 20% of the officers currently serving in those ranks, a War Department source told Fox News Digital.
其中至少部分职位将被降级，而非完全取消。在9月16日批准削减军队联合编制的备忘录中，海格塞斯指示官员为确定降级的将军和将官职位设立O-6级要求，允许上校和海军上校担任这些职务。
At least some of the positions will be downgraded rather than eliminated altogether. In a Sept. 16 memo approving reductions to the military's joint pool, Hegseth directed officials to establish O-6 requirements for general and flag officer positions identified for downgrade, allowing colonels and Navy captains to fill those jobs.
共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出针对战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯的八项弹劾条款。这一宣布恰逢一年前赫格塞斯召集来自世界各地的数百名将军和海军上将前往弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科，举行一场非同寻常的集会。在会上，他阐明了自己对军队高级领导层的期望，并警告那些不支持其改革的人应主动让位。
GOP REP THOMAS MASSIE INTRODUCES 8 ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST WAR SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH The announcement comes exactly one year after Hegseth summoned hundreds of generals and admirals from around the world to Quantico, Virginia, for an extraordinary gathering where he laid out his expectations for the military's senior leaders and warned those who did not support his reforms to step aside.
赫格塞斯认为，减少将军和海军上将的数量将消除不必要的官僚层级，并将权力下放到指挥链的更低层级。。赫格塞斯在2025年5月宣布此前的人员削减时表示：“这并非旨在惩罚高级军官的‘大清洗’行动。这是一个审慎的过程，我们与参谋长联席会议合作，目标只有一个：通过对将军和将官军衔进行合理削减，最大限度地提高战略准备状态和作战效能。”
Hegseth has argued that reducing the number of generals and admirals would strip away unnecessary layers of bureaucracy and push authority down the chain of command.
今年的参会者阵容将有所不同。根据已公布的五角大楼关于此次活动的内部指导文件报道，各军事指挥部被要求派遣表现优异、符合体能和身体成分要求，并保持“无可挑剔”的仪容和着装标准的顶尖军人。据称，部分被选中的参会军人还将与赫格塞斯一起参加体能训练。
SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "This is not a slash-and-burn exercise meant to punish high-ranking officers," Hegseth said when he announced the earlier reductions in May 2025. "This has been a deliberative process, working with the Joint Chiefs of Staff with one goal: maximizing strategic readiness and operational effectiveness by making prudent reductions in the general and flag officer ranks." This year's audience will look different. Military commands have been asked to send top-performing service members who meet fitness and body-composition requirements and maintain "impeccable" grooming and uniform standards, according to published reports on internal Pentagon guidance for the event. Some troops selected to attend are also expected to participate in a workout with Hegseth.
