More notably, Hegseth ordered a comprehensive transformation of the US Army just this morning. The directive includes divesting certain formations, canceling procurement on legacy systems, and merging several internal organizations. Among the significant changes is the consolidation of Army Futures Command and Training and Doctrine Command into a new organization.
The transformation also includes reducing and restructuring manned attack helicopter formations while augmenting them with inexpensive drone swarms. Hegseth's plan calls for divesting outdated formations, including select armor and aviation units across Active, Reserve, and National Guard components.
During a Pentagon press conference following the announcement, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll explained that these changes were necessary to meet modern threats, stating, "We've seen in wars going on around the world that the equipment just can't provide what it was originally supposed to to soldiers, and yet it keeps showing up year after year." Driscoll emphasized that parochial interests and lobbying have prevented necessary cuts for too long.
This latest directive builds upon Hegseth's April 30 memo that ordered a vast set of alterations aimed at building a leaner, more lethal force that prioritizes defending the homeland and deterring China in the Indo-Pacific. The administration has made homeland defense and deterring China top priorities, including shifting resources to the Pacific.
On May 10, Hegseth issued a stern warning regarding unauthorized overflights of National Defense Areas. During a visit to a newly established New Mexico National Defense Area, he emphasized that such actions would result in immediate detention and federal prosecution. He noted that the Department of Justice has already charged more than 100 illegal aliens with related crimes and warned that entering these areas illegally could lead to up to 10 years in prison.
These recent actions come during a challenging period for Hegseth. Reports from late April suggested his position might be in jeopardy after revelations that he discussed sensitive military plans with his brother and wife in a private Signal chat. Former Pentagon spokesperson John Ullyot wrote in Politico that Hegseth may be replaced soon, citing a month of "meltdowns" and distractions.
Despite these challenges, Hegseth continues to reshape military policy, emphasizing the importance of air and space forces in future conflicts and pushing for comprehensive reforms across military branches.
