Secretary of War Pete Hegseth attributed the U.S. Department of War’s success over the past 19 months to presidential leadership and military dedication. During a cabinet meeting at Camp David, Hegseth highlighted President Donald J. Trump’s role in providing courage, a mandate to restore the ‘warrior spirit,’ and generational investment in military strength. Examples included Operation Rough Rider, which led to a Houthi ceasefire, and Operation Midnight Hammer, ending a 12-day conflict with Iran. Hegseth also noted Trump’s impact on border security, drug interdiction, and recruitment efforts. The secretary emphasized a $1.5 trillion budget request aimed at modernizing the military and strengthening the defense industrial base through private investments. He cited increased enlistments and retention as outcomes of renewed focus on meritocracy and readiness.
