美国国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）正在五角大楼推行大规模的人事调整和文化变革1。陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔（Dan Driscoll）上周辞职，成为赫格塞斯架空或撤销的最新一位高级军事领导人1。迄今为止，赫格塞斯已经移除或架空了陆军、海军和空军的最高指挥官，以及至少24名将军、海军将领和文职国防领导人1。
这一系列改组举措在国会引发了严厉批评。共和党参议员托姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）呼吁解除赫格塞斯职务，指责这是对美国军人"最无能的管理"1。副总统杰德·万斯（JD Vance）则为赫格塞斯辩护，表示他"坚决同意"在40年"失败的战争"后进行文化变革的必要性1。
特朗普政府在中东的军事行动进一步加剧了对美军战力的压力。美国在2月28日对伊朗发动的袭击消耗了约3000枚巡航导弹库存中的约三分之一，以及约2300枚爱国者拦截弹中的近1500枚1。与此同时，部署在德国的40000名美军中宣布减少5000人，原计划部署远程战斧导弹的拜登时代方案也被取消1。
包括82空降师在内的数千名部队在六个多月前被派往中东，目前其部署计划已延伸至2027年，尚无明确的结束日期1。这些部队和资源的重新配置，连同赫格塞斯的改革举措，引发了对美军是否过度拉伸以及盟国安全的广泛担忧1。
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is conducting sweeping personnel changes at the Department of Defense, removing or sidelining numerous senior military leaders as the Trump administration pursues extended military operations in the Middle East. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned last week, becoming the latest high-ranking official affected by Hegseth's restructuring 1. In total, Hegseth has removed or sidelined the top commanders of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, along with at least 24 generals, admirals, and civilian defense officials 1.
The reorganization has drawn sharp criticism from within Republican ranks. Senator Thom Tillis called for Hegseth's removal, characterizing the changes as "the most incompetent management of our military personnel" 1. However, Vice President JD Vance defended the overhaul, stating he "strongly agrees" that cultural transformation is necessary following 40 years of "failed wars" 1.
These leadership changes coincide with intensified military operations against Iran. On February 28, a U.S. strike consumed approximately one-third of America's 3,000 cruise missile inventory and depleted roughly 1,500 of approximately 2,300 Patriot interceptor missiles 1. The operational demands have prompted significant redeployment of American forces. The Pentagon announced a reduction of 5,000 troops from the 40,000 stationed in Germany and canceled a Biden-era plan to deploy long-range Tomahawk missiles there 1. Meanwhile, thousands of troops, including the 82nd Airborne Division, deployed to the Middle East over six months ago now face extended deployment through 2027 with no clearly defined end date 1.
