Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's plan to cut senior military jobs could hit more than 120 high-ranking officers.

20% of 44 authorized top active duty general and admiral jobs would be eliminated.

The cuts are part of a broader government-wide campaign to slash spending and personnel across federal agencies.

The decrease stems from a review done by Guard leaders last year that identified more than 30 positions that could be cut.

There are about 30 general officers in the National Guard Bureau headquarters staff.

The rest are assigned to jobs in other federal agencies, including the FBI , CIA and military commands.
