US President Donald Trump announces he will replace the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown, and soon swap out five other high level positions in an unprecedented shakeup of the leadership of the US military.

Trump, in a post on Truth Social, says he will nominate retired Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to succeed Brown.

The decision sets off a period of upheaval at the Pentagon, which is already bracing for firings of civilian staff, a dramatic overhaul of its budget and a shift in US military deployments under Trump’s new America First foreign policy.
