US President Donald Trump is firing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff CQ Brown, the country’s highest-ranking officer, as part of a major shakeup of the military’s top leadership. The day before, the dismissal of two other senior officers was announced: Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff General Jim Slife. Admiral Franchetti was the first woman to lead the US Navy. All three senior officials removed on Friday were appointed by Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden.
