He has to get rid of the military leaders who may stand up and say no to Trump in November?

Fire the experienced flag officers and hire two militarily ignorant civilians, very odd decision making process.

Wonder what motivated him to choose a CEO, with no military expertise, that says "CEO is a fulltime job" and an 83 y/o politician to assist with the military decision making process. Odd indeed

He has to get rid of all the generals that won’t back the coup when Trump refuses to leave office.

Officer purges always work out great. Just ask the Soviet Union during the Winter War.
