New Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently confirmed that the Pentagon will be implementing a mandate to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies from his agency.
In a post on X over the weekend, Hegseth wrote: “The President’s guidance (lawful orders) is clear: No more DEI at [the Department of Defense]. The Pentagon will comply, immediately. No exceptions, name-changes, or delays.”
The move comes as part of a push by President Donald Trump to remove DEI from branches of the federal government, arguing in orders that they are discriminatory and unfair. While the president had signed an order to remove DEI personnel across the federal government, various agencies and staff have received emails from their respective heads of department to root out any DEI divisions that had recently been renamed.
It’s also part of a broader trend among large companies and other organizations to roll back DEI policies in recent months. Late last week, retail giant Target became the latest major corporation to do so, announcing it had met its goals and would be ending certain initiatives.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Hegseth also said that orders from Trump will be coming on removing DEI from the Pentagon as well as reinstating troops who were pushed out “due to COVID mandates” several years ago, creating an “Iron Dome for America,” and more. During the pandemic, the Department of Defense (DOD) had issued mandates that forced troops to either receive the COVID-19 vaccine or be suspended, although the department had offered religious and medical exemptions.
“This is happening quickly,” he said, noting he will make sure that the Pentagon acts “rapidly” in implementing Trump’s orders when issued.
