The Atlantic is reporting that Army Lt.Gen. Brett Sylvia, the director for strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Staff, known as the J5, was fired this week. No reason has been given publicly, however his biography has been removed from the public website for the J5.
A Joint Staff spokesperson thanked him for 32 years of service. Unnamed defense officials told the Atlantic Secretary of War Pete Hegseth lost confidence in him and that he did not get along with Under Secretary Elbridge Colby. He is the second J5 director pushed out in the past year, per the Atlantic.
The J5 is the Joint Staff’s strategy and plans directorate. In general it helps turn presidential and civilian guidance into military plans and links the combatant commands, the Pentagon’s civilian leadership and the White House.
