Generals and high level US Military authority are constantly coming and going from the Pentagon because while the Pentagon is the US Military Headquarters, generals (which there are four types [five types in the event of war] from the different branches [Admirals for the Navy]) have command over specific units places throughout the entire world and that's their responsibility. To my knowledge they typically go to the Pentagon somewhat frequently depending on their units mission and their rank so it varies wildly. But they go their to report, advise, and basically beg for money to fund the units they command. One thing is for sure though: the joint chiefs of staff (Air Force Chief of Staff, Army Chief of Staff, Chief of Naval Operations, and Marine Corps Commandant) all have offices there. But like every other high level military commander, they are constantly being called away to oversee matters of high importance to national security matters.
