- 国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟快速重塑五角大楼领导层，解职高级官员

华盛顿4月2日电（路透社）——两名美国国防官员和一位知情人士向路透社透露，美国陆军参谋长兰迪·乔治于周四被国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟解职，这是五角大楼最高层最新一轮的人事清洗。
曾是福克斯新闻主持人的赫格斯瑟已迅速着手重塑国防部，解职多名将军和海军上将，以落实美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的国家安全议程。

五角大楼证实，任期尚有一年多的乔治“将立即退休，不再担任第41任陆军参谋长”。
五角大楼在一份声明中对乔治数十年的服役生涯表示感谢。声明称：“我们祝愿他退休后一切顺利。”
该部门未给出他离职的理由。目前美国军方正在中东加强兵力部署，同时开展针对伊朗的军事行动。
该地区的打击行动主要由海军和空军执行，尽管美国陆军士兵已被派往中东操作防空系统。陆军是美国军方规模最大的兵种，现役兵力约45万人。

美国陆军精锐第82空降师的数千名士兵也已开始抵达中东，可能参与针对伊朗的地面行动。
五角大楼最新人事动荡
尽管赫格斯瑟采取了颇具争议的举措，例如解雇陆军最高法律顾问、安排庆祝陆军建军250周年的大型阅兵（恰逢特朗普生日），但此前并未有公开迹象显示赫格斯瑟与乔治之间存在摩擦。
不过本周早些时候，赫格斯瑟推翻了陆军一项调查在歌手基德·罗克住宅附近驾驶攻击直升机的陆军飞行员的决定，此举显然是为了支持这位直言不讳的特朗普支持者。
率先报道乔治被解职消息的哥伦比亚广播公司称，他的被解职与基德·罗克事件无关。一位官员表示，赫格斯瑟前军事副官、陆军副参谋长克里斯托弗·拉内夫将军将临时接任乔治的职务。
乔治是一名步兵军官，曾在伊拉克和阿富汗服役，2023年获任陆军最高职位。该职位通常任期为四年。
在担任陆军最高职务之前，乔治曾担任陆军副参谋长，更早之前则是时任国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀的高级军事顾问。
他被认为与陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔关系密切。两人曾合作对抗大型国防企业，推动陆军加快武器研发并降低成本。
乔治被解职进一步加剧了五角大楼各级领导层近期的动荡，包括去年解职前参谋长联席会议主席、空军上将C·Q·布朗，以及海军作战部长和空军副参谋长。
乔治的办公室未立即回应置评请求。

- Summary
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth rapidly reshaping Pentagon leadership, firing top officials
- No official reason given for George’s removal amid US military buildup in Middle East
- General Christopher LaNeve to serve as acting Army chief
WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) – U.S. Army Chief of Staff Randy George was fired on Thursday by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, two U.S. defense officials and a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, in the latest purge among the Pentagon’s most senior ranks.
Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved quickly to reshape the department, firing generals and admirals as he seeks to implement U.S. President Donald Trump’s national security agenda.

The Pentagon confirmed that George, who had more than a year left in his term, “will be retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately.”
The Pentagon said in a statement it was grateful for George’s decades of service. “We wish him well in his retirement,” it said.
The department did not give a reason for his departure, which comes as the U.S. military builds up its forces in the Middle East while carrying out operations against Iran.
The strikes in the region are largely being carried out by the Navy and Air Force, although U.S. Army soldiers have been dispatched to the Middle East for air defense systems. The Army is the largest branch of the U.S. military, with about 450,000 active-duty soldiers.

Thousands of soldiers from the U.S. Army’s elite 82nd Airborne Division have also started arriving in the Middle East, potentially for ground operations in Iran.
LATEST UPHEAVAL AT PENTAGON
There had been no public signs of friction between Hegseth and George, even as Hegseth pursued controversial moves such as firing the Army’s top lawyer and arranging a massive military parade celebrating the Army’s 250th birthday, which coincided with Trump’s birthday.
Earlier this week, however, Hegseth reversed an Army decision to investigate Army pilots who were flying attack helicopters near singer Kid Rock’s house, in an apparent show of support for the vocal Trump backer.
CBS News, which first reported George’s dismissal, said his firing was not related to the Kid Rock incident. An official said Hegseth’s former military aide and Army vice chief of staff, General Christopher LaNeve, will take over George’s role in an acting capacity.

George, an infantry officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was confirmed to the top Army post in 2023. Terms in that role usually run for four years.
Prior to holding the top job, George was the vice chief of the Army and, before that, the senior military adviser to then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
He was considered close to Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. The two worked together to take on large defense companies, in the Army’s drive to speed up weapons development and drive down costs.
George’s removal adds to recent upheaval at all levels of leadership at the Pentagon, including the firing last year of the previous chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, as well as the chief of naval operations and Air Force vice chief of staff.
The office for George did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
