Retired General CQ Brown Jr., former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has joined Florida-based drone technology company Powerus following his dismissal from military leadership earlier this year.

Brown was removed from his position by President Trump in February and replaced by General Dan Caine. The retired general is now taking a role with the drone technology firm, which has received backing from two of President Trump's sons.

Powerus operates in the public safety sector, developing drone technology for emergency response applications. The company has positioned itself as a provider of unmanned aerial vehicles that can support law enforcement and emergency services operations.

The move represents Brown's transition from military leadership to the private technology sector. His appointment comes as drone companies increasingly seek to expand their presence in government and public safety markets.

Brown previously served as the highest-ranking military officer in the United States before his removal from the Joint Chiefs position. The general's military background and experience in defense operations may provide strategic value to Powerus as it develops its public safety technology offerings.
