William "Bill" Green Jr., Chief of the Army Chaplain Corps

Dismissal date: 2 April 2026. Green, a major general and head of the Army Chaplain Corps, was a less visible figure than the chiefs of armed forces but nevertheless central in a very sensitive area of military life, that of religious and moral assistance to soldiers. His ouster came a few days after Hegseth announced two major reforms of the chaplain corps, a circumstance that - in the eyes of some observers - links the case to a broader ideological and organisational redefinition. Even for him, no specific official motivation was made known.
