US Air Force official’s 'forced' resignation sending 'shockwaves through the Pentagon'
Story by Alex Henderson • 23h
Gen. David Allvin, chief of staff for the U.S. Air Force, was appointed to a four-year term under former President Joe Biden and ex-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. But now, according to reporting in the Washington Post and the Daily Beast, he is being forced out only two years into that term — a development that, Dan Lamothe and Tara Copp report in the Post, is "sending shockwaves through the Pentagon."
Allvin's resignation, according to Lamothe and Copp, was confirmed by Pentagon officials on Monday, August 19. And his departure is consistent with a pattern that is occurring under President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Lamothe and Copp report, "Allvin's impending departure follows the firings of several other senior military officers since Trump's return to the White House this year, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the chief of naval operations, the commandant of the Coast Guard, and the vice chief of staff of the Air Force. Generals and admirals serving in less prominent roles also have been purged, sending shockwaves through the Pentagon and much of the U.S. military, where stability typically is seen as an asset."
