このコンテンツについて
In a major move this past week, Hegseth issued a sweeping directive ordering a comprehensive transformation of the U.S. Army. This restructuring includes merging Army Futures Command with Training and Doctrine Command to streamline modernization and training efforts. The plan targets a reduction in outdated and redundant Army formations, with resources shifting toward more advanced capabilities such as inexpensive drone swarms, enhanced long-range precision fires, and modernized air and missile defense systems.
One of Hegseth’s stated priorities is homeland defense, with a renewed focus on securing the southern border and advancing the so-called “Golden Dome” missile defense system for the United States. At the same time, the Department of Defense is reallocating resources to bolster deterrence against China in the Indo-Pacific, sometimes at the expense of other traditional priorities. This shift is reflected in the Army’s upcoming changes to mobile and light brigades, which are currently under review and expected to be formalized later in the year.
Throughout these reforms, Hegseth has been vocal about cutting bureaucratic overhead and ensuring that resources directly support warfighters. He has criticized the persistence of inefficient legacy programs and excessive overhead, emphasizing that performance and merit should be the benchmarks for military advancement and investment. Hegseth, a former infantryman and National Guard officer, has drawn on his personal military experience, arguing that true battlefield effectiveness comes from empowering troops at the operational level rather than concentrating power in top-heavy headquarters.
Senior Army officials have echoed the urgency behind these changes, pointing to lessons learned from ongoing conflicts worldwide where legacy equipment has failed to meet new battlefield demands. By consolidating budget lines for critical technologies and pushing for procurement reform, the aim is to create an Army that is both leaner and more formidable, capable of rapid adaptation and sustained deterrence.
As Hegseth’s policies begin to take shape, they are setting a new direction for the Department of Defense, one focused on readiness, modernization, and a return to core warfighting principles. The coming months will reveal how these transformations affect the U.S. military’s strategic posture and its ability to respond to emerging threats both at home and abroad.
