WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force’s top uniformed officer is set to retire early in the most recent shake-up of military leadership during President Donald Trump’s second term.

Gen. David Allvin will continue serving as the service’s chief of staff until a replacement is confirmed by the Senate, the Air Force announced Monday. He expects to retire around Nov. 1, two years into his four-year term, it said in a statement.

Allvin joins other top military officials who have stepped down or been fired by Trump’s Republican administration during a broader leadership upheaval, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plans to slash the number of senior military positions in what he calls an efficiency effort and a purge of top officers who were believed to endorse diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
