Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked the highest-ranking US Army officer to resign amid the Iran war.
Hegseth asked General Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources told CBS News.
A Pentagon official said: 'We are grateful for his service, but it was time for a leadership change in the Army.'
George, a Biden appointee, is understood to have clashed with the administration's vision for the Army.
Vice Chief of Staff General Christopher LaNeve, a former aide to Hegseth, is likely to be considered as his replacement.
Hegseth's decision comes as 50,000 US troops are deployed in the Middle East ahead of a possible ground invasion in Iran.
As a four-star General and the 41st Chief of Staff, George is the senior-most uniformed officer in the Army, responsible for the organization, training, and equipping of more than one million soldiers.
George reports to General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, the civilian head of the branch; and Hegseth.

Not on board with the program. Gets the Golden Parachute to GTFO. Take the buyout and go.
Think Jose Canseco. The A’s traded him while he was in the on-deck circle. All Biden Generals should be gone before you go to war.
If he needed to go, then tell him to go.
He can go shine BiXiden’s shoes.
He’s apparently been told.
“George, a Biden appointee”
All we need to know.
Middle of the war?
It's already over. I heard President Trump say it himself.
He can now go cross dress on the internet.
He was probably upset with all of this macho discipline, espirit de corps, focus and fitness as well as the reduction in forces of the cross-dressing mentally ill trannys and the actual use of forces and equipment to blow things up and kill muzzie terrorists.
“In May 2021, George took up the post of Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense under Secretary Lloyd Austin.[10] “🙄
If Lloyd liked him, he had to go.
AND the democrat party melt down will commence. Completely ignoring Lincoln (who they love claiming as their own) fired dozens of generals until he found fighters in Grant and Sherman.
Biden appointee? Why wasn’t he fired a year ago?
Think Jose Canseco. The A’s traded him while he was in the on-deck circle. All Biden Generals should be gone before you go to war.
Next thing you know the ball is bouncing off his head, as a Texas Ranger.
‘ It’s already over. I heard President Trump say it himself.’
Parades, big, strong, triumphant parades soon.
And you can tell your friend there with you he’ll have to go
“George, a Biden appointee, is understood to have clashed with the administration’s vision for the Army.“
I wonder where he differed with the CinC?
Soon to be a CNN or MSNOW “expert” spokesperson?
He should have been gone with Austin!
