This board, composed of retired senior military personnel, would be charged with the responsibility of assessing the performance of three- and four-star officers and determining their suitability for command.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the primary objective of this proposed board would be to identify and potentially remove military leaders who are deemed unfit for command. This initiative aligns with President Trump's previous statements about eliminating what he refers to as "woke" generals. The proposed board would expedite the dismissal of generals and admirals who are found to be deficient in the necessary leadership qualities.

Based on these assessments, the board would issue recommendations for removal. Officers deemed unfit would be retired within a month.

The idea of a warrior board is not without historical precedent. In 1940, General George C. Marshall established a “plucking board” led by retired general officers to review the files of serving senior officers and remove any officer for reasons deemed sufficient.
