flag The Pentagon plans to merge three combatant commands into two to cut costs and streamline leadership under the Trump administration’s “America First” strategy.

flag The Pentagon is planning a major overhaul of its military command structure, reducing combatant commands from 11 to eight by merging U.S. Central, European, and Africa Commands into a new U.S. International Command, and combining Northern and Southern Commands into a new U.S. Americas Command. flag The reorganization, driven by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, aims to cut the number of four-star generals and admirals reporting directly to the Pentagon chief, streamline decision-making, and shift focus toward the Western Hemisphere. flag The changes align with the Trump administration’s “America First” national security strategy, which emphasizes reduced global military commitments. flag The plan requires approval from Hegseth and President Trump and is subject to a 60-day delay for a cost and impact review by Congress. flag Critics warn the consolidation could weaken alliances and crisis response capabilities.
