据熟悉该决定的消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，国防部长皮特·黑格斯瑟已要求陆军参谋长兰迪·乔治将军辞职并立即退役。
其中一位消息人士表示，黑格斯瑟希望该职位的人选能够贯彻特朗普总统和黑格斯瑟本人的陆军改革愿景。
五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在一份声明中称，乔治“将立即卸任第41任陆军参谋长一职。陆军部对乔治将军为国家数十年的服役表示感谢。我们祝愿他退休后一切顺利。”
一名国防部高级官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“我们对他的服役表示感谢，但现在是陆军领导层换人的时候了。”
乔治曾于2021年至2022年拜登政府期间担任国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀的高级军事助理，其军旅生涯长达数十年。作为一名职业步兵军官和西点军校毕业生，乔治最早参加过第一次海湾战争，以及近年的伊拉克和阿富汗战争。
陆军参谋长通常任期为四年。乔治由乔·拜登总统提名，并于2023年经参议院确认就任该职位，按惯例本应任职至2027年。
现任陆军副参谋长克里斯托弗·拉内夫将军此前曾担任黑格斯瑟的军事助手，将出任代理陆军参谋长。他曾于2022年至2023年担任陆军第82空降师指挥官。
帕内尔表示，拉内夫是“一位历经战火考验的领导者，拥有数十年作战经验，完全得到黑格斯瑟部长的信任，将不折不扣地贯彻本届政府的愿景”。
美国西点军校周四在社交媒体上发布了乔治的照片，称他在3月25日的访问中“与准备担任领导职务的学员们分享了基于经验的指导”。
根据陆军官网的个人简介，乔治于1988年从西点军校获得步兵军官任命，曾部署参加沙漠盾牌行动、沙漠风暴行动、伊拉克自由行动和持久自由行动。在担任陆军参谋长之前，他于2022年至2023年担任陆军副参谋长。
黑格斯瑟已罢免了十多名高级军官，包括参谋长联席会议主席C·Q·布朗将军、海军作战部长丽莎·弗朗凯蒂上将、空军副参谋长詹姆斯·斯莱夫将军以及国防情报局局长杰弗里·克鲁泽中将。
此次罢免事件发生之前，黑格斯瑟在X平台发帖推翻了对上周在纳什维尔飞越基德·洛克住宅的机组人员的停职处分。在陆军宣布对涉事飞行员停职并启动行政审查后，黑格斯瑟推翻了陆军的决定，在其个人X账号上写道：“无需处罚。无需调查。继续前行，爱国者们。”
其中一位消息人士称，黑格斯瑟要求乔治离职的决定与此次直升机事件无关。

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources familiar with the decision told CBS News.
One of the sources said Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth’s vision for the Army.
Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement that George “will be retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately. The Department of War is grateful for General George’s decades of service to our nation. We wish him well in his retirement.”
A senior Defense Department official told CBS News, “We are grateful for his service, but it was time for a leadership change in the Army.”
George previously served as the senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin from 2021 to 2022, during the Biden administration, after decades of service. A career infantry officer and West Point graduate, George first served in the first Gulf War and the more recent conflicts of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Army chief of staff typically serves a four-year term. George was nominated for the position by President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate in 2023, meaning he would typically have held the position until 2027.
The current vice chief of staff of the Army, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, who was formerly Hegseth’s military aide, will be acting Army chief of staff. He previously served as the commanding general of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division from 2022 to 2023.
Parnell said LaNeve is “a battle-tested leader with decades of operational experience and is completely trusted by Secretary Hegseth to carry out the vision of this administration without fault.”
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point posted photos on social media on Thursday of George, saying he “shared experience-driven guidance with cadets preparing to lead” during a visit on March 25.
According to his biography on the Army’s website, George received his commission as an infantry officer from West Point in 1988 and deployed during Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Before serving as Army chief of staff, he was vice chief of staff of the Army from 2022 to 2023.
Hegseth has fired more than a dozen senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse.
The ouster follows Hegseth’s X post lifting the suspension of the aircrew that flew by Kid Rock’s house in Nashville last weekend. After the Army announced the suspension of the aviators involved and an administrative review, Hegseth overruled the Army, writing on his personal X account, “No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots.”
Hegseth’s decision to ask George to exit wasn’t related to the helicopter incident, one of the sources said.
