A shake-up is underway at the Pentagon. President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are replacing top military leaders, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the chief of naval operations, and several other key officials. The move comes amid broader efforts to roll back diversity initiatives and streamline the military’s leadership. With a wave of firings and planned job cuts, the administration is reshaping the Pentagon’s future—raising questions about priorities, leadership, and the direction of the armed forces.
Among those released was Airport Vice Chief James Slife who was in Minot earlier this week.
