The Pentagon issued an urgent, highly unusual directive calling hundreds of generals and admirals (1–4 star officers and their senior enlisted advisers) to assemble in Virginia; many senior officers reportedly don’t know the reason for the meeting.
Commentators describe the order as extraordinary because such large in-person gatherings of top commanders are rare and could signal something significant beyond routine video conferences.
There is speculation the meeting may be tied to military actions or planning related to recent moves in the Caribbean and threats involving Venezuela, and possibly coordination concerning Iran (snapback sanctions were mentioned as imminent in the discussion).
