According to information from the U.S. side on the 29th, a senior U.S. Department of Defense general responsible for strategic planning, Brett Sylvia, has been removed from his post, and the reason for his dismissal has not yet been announced.
Before his removal, Sylvia served as director of the Joint Staff's Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate, and he had previously served as commander of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.
Anonymous Department of Defense sources said Sylvia is suspected of leaking internal information to the media concerning the Iran war and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and he failed three polygraph tests.
In addition, Sylvia is close to former Army Chief of Staff Randy George, who was removed from his post in April of this year.
The U.S. military issued a statement thanking Sylvia for his 32 years of service, but then withdrew that statement.
According to statistics, since Hegseth became defense secretary last year, at least 26 senior U.S. military generals have left their posts.
