War Secretary Pete Hegseth made a major wartime change to the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday in removing Army chief of staff Gen. Randy George.

George is leaving after serving over 2 1/2 years at the helm of the branch, with the Pentagon now turning to vice chief of staff of the Army, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, to take over the role. The outgoing Army leader’s retirement announcement comes as Hegseth reshapes the U.S. military under the rebranded Department of War.
