  1. Allvin is the fifth #US #military service chief to depart since #Trump took office. In January, Trump directed the firing of #CoastGuard Commandant Adm. #LindaFagan, & in February, he fired Gen. #CQBrown as chair of the #JointChiefsOfStaff & removed Chief of #Navy Operations Adm. #LisaFranchetti. In April, he fired #CyberCommand chief Gen. #TimothyHaugh.

  2. The conflict within #PeteHegseth’s inner circle persists even after he purged several political appointees in April & attempts to portray a sense of unity among his remaining *brain trust*🤣. His claims, however, are belied by continued behind-the-scenes #dysfunction, brought on by unresolved personality conflicts, #inexperience, vacancies in key #Pentagon leadership roles & a steady-state of #paranoia over what political crisis is next…

  3. …Gen Haugh was informed of the decision while traveling. Current & fmr ofcls said Gen Haugh’s deputy at the #NSA, Wendy Noble, was also removed from her post, & possibly reassigned to another position at the #Pentagon.

    #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth & #Trump have removed several top officers from their posts including the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff…; the chief of naval operations [#Navy #CNO]…; & the commandant of the #CoastGuard….

  4. The head of the #NSA & US #Cyber Command was removed from his job on Thurs, acc/to the top #Democrats on the congressional #intelligence committees.

    Senator Mark Warner of Virginia & Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut condemned the ouster of Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, who led both the #spy agency & the #military command.

    The move caught intelligence officials off guard.

  5. During his 2nd admin, #Trump has shown personal animus toward high-ranking #military officers [particularly if they are not white and/or are women], both those on active duty & some who retired years ago.

    Trump has suggested that Gen #MarkMilley, his fmr chair of the #JointChiefs who retired in 2023, should be executed for engaging w/his Chinese counterpart during the turmoil surrounding the #Jan6 #insurrection.

  6. The prohibition against #women serving on warships ended in 1993, opening the door for officers like Adm #LisaFranchetti to compete equally with their male counterparts. Women were not allowed on submarines, however, until 2010.

    The firing of a service chief such as Admiral Franchetti is vanishingly rare, though #Trump fired another four-star female admiral less than 24 hrs after his second inauguration.

  7. Adm. #LisaFranchetti spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, rising to command the destroyer U.S.S. Ross, & later a destroyer squadron, two aircraft carrier strike groups, all naval forces in Korea & the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea.

    Admiral Franchetti became the 33rd chief of naval operations on Nov. 2, 2023, making her the first #woman to have a permanent seat as a member of the #JointChiefs.
