According to TASS, Fox News, citing official documents, indicated that Hegset in early September approved plans for cuts in the ground forces, Navy, Air Force and the combined personnel reserve of the military. The armed forces are ordered to implement the changes and complete the cuts by January 1, 2027.

Hegset is scheduled to formally announce the plans on Sept. 30 during a speech in Quantico, Virginia, on the state of the military and priorities for next year. The new target is more than double the 10 percent reduction in general and admiral posts it set last year.
