Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is spearheading a sweeping reorganization of the United States military, aiming to shift its focus away from Europe and the Middle East and toward the Western Hemisphere. The plan would consolidate several major commands, downgrade the authority of those focused on Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and merge Northern and Southern Commands into a new Americas Command. This restructuring would reduce the number of four-star generals and streamline the Pentagon's hierarchy, marking the most significant shake-up of military leadership in decades. The proposal, which aligns with the administration's new national security strategy, has not yet been formally presented to Congress, and funding would be withheld until lawmakers receive detailed plans and cost assessments. The overhaul comes amid controversy over recent military strikes and ongoing scrutiny from lawmakers regarding the legality and transparency of Pentagon actions.
