Army Secretary Christine Wormuth Fires General Charles Hamilton, First Four-Star Dismissed in 20 Years
Dec 10, 2024, 09:37 PM
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth has fired General Charles Hamilton, the head of Army Materiel Command, following an investigation by the Army Inspector General. The investigation found that Hamilton improperly intervened in the promotion process for senior commanders, leading to his dismissal. This marks the first time in nearly 20 years that a four-star general in the Army has been relieved of duty. The decision, described as a dramatic move, comes after reports of misconduct, including meddling in the promotion of an unfit subordinate officer, were brought to light.
