Higseth House of Adhamir fires
Defense Minister Beit Higseth said on Friday that he was shooting at Admiral Lisa Franchiti, the first officer to rise to the best job in marine operations, and would search for a substitute for her.
This announcement came in an e -mail statement to the correspondents on Friday night, shortly after President Trump said he was shooting at General Charles K. Brown Junior, head of the joint staff team.
Mr. Higseth said in his statement that he would replace General James C. Saif, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force, in addition to the best unified lawyers of the army, the Navy and the Air Force.
“The Admiral Franchiti and General Slav have distinguished,” said Mr. Higseth, adding, “We thank them for their service and dedication in our country.”
He added: “During the era of President Trump, we put a new leadership that will focus our army on its basic mission of deterring wars, fighting and winning.”
according to Her official biographyAdmiral Franchiti obtained a commission in 1985 through the Maritime Reserve Officers Training Program at Northwestern University, just seven years after the naval ended, banning women working on ships at sea.
She became a surface war officer at a time when women who joined the fleet in this role were usually limited to applying to additional ships – non -combat ships carrying goods, fuel, ammunition or specialized equipment to repair submarines.
The embargo against women working in warships ended in 1993, and opened the door for officers such as Admiral Franchetti to compete equally with their male counterparts. Women in submarines were not allowed until 2010.
She spent nearly half of her 40 -year professional career at the sea, as she rose to the leadership of the USS Ross, then a destroyed squadron, two sets of aircraft carrier, and all the naval forces in Korea and the sixth fleet in the Mediterranean.
Admiral Franchiti became the thirty -third head of the Naval Operations on November 2, 2023, making her the first woman to have a permanent seat as a member of the joint heads.
At that time, the White House referred to the “extensive and political operating experience” of Admiral Franchiti as it is among the reasons chosen by President Joseph R. Biden Junior.
The shooting of a service leader like Admiral Franchiti is very rare, although President Trump launched another four -star Admiral less than 24 hours after his second inauguration.
That family was Linda L. Vagan, who was destroyed as a coast guard commander to become the first woman to lead a branch of the armed forces.
He was the last president of maritime operations that do not complete a long time for a period of four years in his post, Admiral Mike Moulin, who became head of the chief chiefs of staff in 2007.
A decade ago, the Admiral Jeremy M. Bouureda, head of maritime operations, who was the first person in the history of the navy to start serving a soldier, is a four -star Admiral, by suicide in 1996.
Thirty years ago, the President of the Navy retired during the Cuban missile crisis, Admiral George W. Anderson, in early 1963 after clashing with Robert McKina, who was the defense minister at that time.
During his second administration, Mr. Trump Animus showed the high -level military officers, whether in active service or some who have retired years ago.
Mr. Trump suggested that General Mark A. Milli, its former chief of chiefs of staff who retired in 2023, to engage with his Chinese counterpart during the turbulence surrounding the rebellion on January 6.
The official image of General Millie was removed as a Pentagon president on the opening day.
A week later, Mr. Higseth canceled the government’s personal security details in the government, which was presented to the retired general due to the death threats he received from Iran after the American strike that killed a strong Iranian general in early 2020.
Supporters of Mr. Trump also threatened General Millie because of his contacts with his Chinese counterpart during the first Trump administration, assuring them that the United States was not seeking to hit them, or raises a military crisis.
