华盛顿——五角大楼证实，国防部长皮特·赫格塞思计划在周三发表的讲话中宣布，进一步削减军队现役将军和 Admiral 的人数。
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to announce further cuts to the number of generals and admirals serving in the military in an address set for Wednesday, the Pentagon confirmed.
五角大楼官员表示，赫格塞思将指示军方所有军种，将去年春天下令实施的10%削减幅度加倍，涉及约800个将官职位，使总体削减比例达到20%，并于2027年1月1日前完成。
According to Pentagon officials, Hegseth will direct all the military services to double the 10% reduction that he ordered last spring to the roughly 800 flag and general officer positions, making it a 20% total decrease to be completed by Jan. 1, 2027.
唐纳德·特朗普总统和赫格塞思上任以来，已经解职或迫使二十多名军方高层退役，其中包括4月被解职的陆军最高级别现役军官兰迪·乔治上将。他们还解职了仅有的两名担任四星军官的女性，以及数量明显超出比例的其他高级女性军官。
President Donald Trump or Hegseth already have fired pushed to retire more than two dozen military leaders since taking office, including the Army’s top uniformed officer Gen. Randy George, in April. They also have fired the only two women serving as four-star officers, as well as a disproportionate number of other senior female officers.
赫格塞思计划在弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科海军陆战队基地向部队发表演说时宣布这一消息。这将是他连续第二年发表五角大楼所谓的“部队现状”演说、福克斯新闻此前报道了此次新一轮削减措施，可能涉及一星及以上将官，或海军同等级别的军官。
Hegseth plans to make the announcement in a speech to troops at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, the second year in a row he will deliver what the Pentagon is calling his “State of the Force” address. Fox News earlier reported the new reductions, which could include any one-star general or above or officer of equivalent Navy rank.
作为去年削减措施的一部分，赫格塞思还下令现役部队削减20%的四星将官——这是军队最高级别领导层——并要求国民警卫队削减20%的最高职位，但尚不清楚这些削减是否已全部完成。
As part of last year’s cuts, Hegseth also ordered the active duty military to shed 20% of its four-star general officers — the highest-level leader — and the National Guard to shed 20% of its top positions, but it is unclear if all those cuts have been made.
去年同一时间，赫格塞思曾召集全军所有将军和 Admiral 发表演说，宣布终结“觉醒”文化，并为部队出台新指令，其中包括针对体能训练制定“性别中立”或“男性水平”的标准。
Hegseth gathered all the military’s generals and admirals at the same time last year for an address in which he declared an end to “woke” culture and announced new directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or“male-level” standards for physical fitness.
然而，那番讲话被美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的到场抢尽了风头。特朗普提议将美国城市作为武装部队的训练场，并表示需要美国军事力量来打击他所谓的“来自内部的入侵”。
However, that speech was overshadowed by the attendance of President Donald Trump, who proposed using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces and spoke of needing U.S. military might to combat what he called the “invasion from within.”
赫格塞思首次宣布削减军队最高层级人员时，辩称此举旨在清除“冗余的兵力架构，以优化并精简领导体系”。他在2025年5月发布的一份备忘录中表示，其目标是让军队摆脱“不必要的官僚层级”。军队将官职位数量由法律规定，但政府可以不向国会提交接替人选，让这些职位暂时空缺。
When Hegseth first announced the effort to trim the highest levels of the military ranks, he argued it was intended to remove “redundant force structure to optimize and streamline leadership.”In a memo released in May 2025, he said the aim was to free the military from “unnecessary bureaucratic layers.”The number of general officer positions in the military is set by law, but it is possible to let positions remain unfilled by not submitting replacements to Congress.
赫格塞思与国会的关系已经紧张。他还面临共和党人、肯塔基州众议员托马斯·马西提出的弹劾条款，罪名涉及他领导五角大楼以及管理伊朗战争的方式。罗德岛州民主党参议员、参议院军事委员会首席成员杰克·里德表示，撤销高级领导职位必须与国会协商，并警告计划中的削减“应让每一位美国人都感到警惕”。里德在一份声明中说：“国会已经明确告知部长，他必须与国会协商，并说明撤换高级军官和暂停晋升的理由。截至目前，我们尚未得到令人满意的答复。”
Hegseth’s relationship with Congress is already strained, and he faces articles of impeachment from a Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, over his leadership of the Pentagon and management of the Iran war Sen. Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat and ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said eliminating senior leadership positions must be done in consultation with Congress and warned that the planned cuts “should alarm every American.”“Congress has been clear with the Secretary that he must consult this body and explain his reasoning for senior officer removals and promotion holds. To date, we have not received satisfactory answers,” Reed said in a statement.
他补充说：“我们的军队正在世界各地开展重大军事行动，而军队已经承受着巨大压力。此时撤销高级职位和领导人员，只会进一步加剧压力，并在最需要保持指挥连续性时扰乱指挥体系。”
“Our military is conducting major operations around the world, and the force is already under strain,” he added. “Eliminating senior positions and leaders now will add to that strain and disrupt command when continuity matters most.”
