Project 2025 Asserts Limiting Advancement of Current Military
Project 2025 claims existing cadre does not deserve their current rankings
- Reduce the number of generals. Rank creep is “pervasive”. The number of 0-6 to 0-9 officers is at an all-time high across the armed services (above World War II levels), and the actual battlefield experience of this officer corps is at an “all-time low”. The next President should limit the continued advancement of many of the existing cadre, many of whom have been advanced by prior Administrations “for reasons other than their warfighting prowess”.
