Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the military to provide dozens of lawyers to the Justice Department for temporary assignments in Memphis and near the U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) — Armed with a 10-point plan and pacing a stage in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth enumerated for hundreds of assembled military leaders just how much of the force’s policy, philosophy and culture will change for more than 2 million Americans in uniform under President Donald Trump’s command.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sent out a list of topics that Department of War personnel are now required to receive prior approval on.

The secretary recently told military leaders that those who disagree with him “should do the honorable thing and resign.” The words resonate for a reason.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has largely banned military officials – including the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force – from speaking with Congress unless they coordinate with a centralized office that reports to him.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was scheduled to visit the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas on Monday with his counterpart from South Korea, according to a spokesman for the country’s Ministry of National Defense. Hegseth and Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back were expected at the DMZ in the afternoon, the spokesman said by phone Monday.

The move expands the Trump administration’s efforts to use military personnel in support of its immigration crackdown.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reiterated the claim that those being targeted by the United States in military strikes are "the al Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere."
