US EditionPete Hegseth Fires U.S. Navy Chief of Staff Jon Harrison
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed Navy Chief of Staff Jon Harrison amid a power struggle to consolidate Navy leadership following the Senate confirmation of Undersecretary Hung Cao.
- On Friday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Navy Chief of Staff Jon Harrison, with the Pentagon confirming, "He will no longer serve as Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Navy."
- Following Cao's confirmation earlier this week, Harrison's ouster followed after Navy Secretary John Phelan and Harrison reassigned aides meant to assist Cao.
- A Politico report said Harrison wielded rare authority in the chief-of-staff role, consolidating the Navy policy and budgeting offices and limiting the undersecretary's power.
- The move adds to a broader house-cleaning at the Pentagon under Pete Hegseth's watch, who earlier this year dismissed Admiral Lisa Franchetti and General Charles Q. Brown Jr.
- Hung Cao, Navy Undersecretary, is expected to tackle shipbuilding reforms as Harrison’s removal comes days before the Navy 250th anniversary celebration, signaling wider centralization efforts.
