Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anderson" data-source="post: 144582" data-attributes="member: 123">Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of the U.S. military’s generals and admirals to gather on short notice — and without a stated reason — at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, sowing confusion and alarm after the Trump administration’s firing of numerous senior leaders this year.The highly unusual directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide. The directive was issued earlier this week, as a government shutdown looms, and months after Hegseth’s team at the Pentagon announced plans to undertake a sweeping consolidation of top military commands.In a statement Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell affirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but he offered no additional details. Parnell, a senior adviser to the defense secretary, voiced no concerns about reporting on the meeting, scheduled for Tuesday in Quantico, Virginia.There are about 800 generals and admirals spread across the United States and dozens of other countries and time zones. Hegseth’s order applies to all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their Navy equivalent, serving in command positions and their top enlisted advisers. Typically, these officers each oversee hundreds or thousands of rank-and-file troops.Top commanders in conflict zones and senior military leaders stationed throughout Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region are among those expected to attend Hegseth’s meeting. The order does not apply to top military officers who hold staff positions.None of the people who spoke with The Post could recall a defense secretary ever ordering so many of the military’s generals and admirals to assemble like this. Several said it raised security concerns.“People are very concerned. They have no idea what it means,” one person said.Two others expressed frustration that even many commanders stationed overseas will be required to attend. One said, this is “not how this is done.”“You don’t call GOFOs leading their people and the global force into an auditorium outside D.C. and not tell them why/what the topic or agenda is,” this person said, using an abbreviation for general officer or flag officer.“Are we taking every general and flag officer out of the Pacific right now?” one U.S. official said. “All of it is weird.”[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/09/25/hegseth-generals-quantico-meeting/[/URL][MEDIA=twitter]1971218573608808886[/MEDIA]<a href="https://x.com/WW3_Monitor/status/1971218573608808886" target="_blank">View: https://x.com/WW3_Monitor/status/1971218573608808886</a></blockquote>
