My guess is this. They've picked up signals about a forthcoming attack on some military installation and they're putting everyone on alert .

No need to drag all these guys in for that, Combatant Commanders are all you need for a conflict. Anything like a fpcon threat would be dealt with directly via co;mmunications, no need to fly a bunch of dues in to say hey we have intel Durka Durka Air Base may be attacked. My guess is some guys are getting walking papers.

quote:

More than a dozen people familiar with the matter told the outlet that the directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide — all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, their Navy equivalent and their top enlisted advisers — roughly 800 generals or admirals.

The unexpected confab has created confusion and alarm, as there has not been a defense secretary in recent history who has ordered such a large number of the military’s top officers to gather like this.


quote:

Hegseth in May ordered the number of active-duty four-star generals and admirals in the U.S. military and general officers in the National Guard to be cut by at least 20 percent. He also wants the total number of general and flag officers — those with the rank of one star or higher — across the military to be slashed by 10 percent.

How often do we announce, or allow to be leaked, that 100’s of generals will be in one place at the same time?

We (the U.S. of A) needs to stay out of Joe Biden's Proxy War with Russia.

I got no axe to grind with the Ruskies.

My thoughts as well since it has been repeatedly stated we have more officers than the height of WW2. No reason to have so much top brass

Not surprising being that most of the GO corp probably got springboarded to their current position by Obama and/or Biden and they are in their position primarily because they are followers and not leaders.

That, and the fact that Hegseth has said the DoD needs to trim the fat to the tune of at least 20% of the generals and admirals in the military.

The meeting could have something to do with this, or it could be giving some pre-emptive orders for the looming government shutdown. It could be about so many different things.

Thanks to tantal for context. Yeah any and all NATO countries should shoot the drones down immediately.

It sounds like they weren't identified right away or at all as Russian.

Just shoot them down ask questions later.
