U.S. Army Sees Resignation Wave

The article pertains to the resignation of U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis following disagreements with Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. He had submitted his resignation to President Donald Trump. The resignation came at a time of tensions within the U.S. military leadership due to disagreements over military policy management, the removal of senior officers, and strategic directives for the armed forces. The White House confirmed that Mattis was effective in implementing Trump's agenda, particularly in enhancing readiness and combat capability, as well as in negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, highlighting his influence in strengthening the military. Nevertheless, his departure leaves the highest levels of military and civilian leadership without officials confirmed by the Senate, with General Christopher Lasky serving as acting Army Chief of Staff. This move occurs amid internal tensions within the Pentagon, and sources expect that new leadership changes will impact the future of U.S. military policies.
