Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called for an unprecedented large in-person meeting of over 800 top military leaders, including generals and admirals, at short notice, causing confusion and concern about its purpose amid ongoing military leadership changes and recent firings.
Senator Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., is delaying the promotions of nearly 200 senior officers, arguing that the military has too many generals and admirals. Tuberville has maintained a hold on all nominees for promotion to one-star general and admiral and above over his opposition to the Pentagon's decision to cover travel and leave for service members seeking abortions and other reproductive health care. As of now, Tuberville's hold affects 184 military nominees, though that number is expected to grow as President Joe Biden names more nominees and the Senate Armed Services Committee processes them for floor action.
