Secretary of War Hesseth will announce a 20 percent cut in admiral and general slots across the Army, Navy and Air Force, two senior Pentagon officials told The Hill. He reveals it Wednesday in his State of the Force address in Quantico, Va., to junior officers and enlisted leaders. Service branches have until January 1 to apply, when some positions are down instead of cut.
