President Donald Trump announced Friday he is replacing top US military officer General Charles "CQ" Brown less than two years into his four-year term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Trump thanked Brown for "his over 40 years of service to our country" in a post on his Truth Social platform that said he is "honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan 'Razin' Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

"General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a 'warfighter' with significant interagency and special operations experience," Trump wrote.
