NextImg:Trump says he fired boards of visitors for military branches

President Donald Trump said Monday that he has fired the boards of visitors for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard academies.

The president said the service academies had been “infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years,” which has been a theme of Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s first weeks in their roles.

“I have ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard,” he explained in a Truth Social post. “We will have the strongest Military in History, and that begins by appointing new individuals to these Boards. We must make the Military Academies GREAT AGAIN!”

The boards for each service academy provide independent advice and recommendations to the president related to the morale, curriculum, and any other matters related to the academies.

Trump already issued executive orders mandating the service academies and the Pentagon, at large, stop their diversity and inclusion efforts and trainings for service members.

“The Department of Defense will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and in alignment with national security objectives. We will provide status updates as we are able,” the U.S. Military Academy Communications Office told the Washington Examiner.

The Biden administration also pushed out members of the advisory boards appointed under Trump’s first term in office.

During Hegseth’s first town hall to service members and the Pentagon’s civilian workforce last Friday, he railed against the department’s previous diversity and inclusion efforts.

“I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is our diversity is our strength,” he explained. “I think our strength is our unity. Our strength is our shared purpose, regardless of our background, regardless of how we grew up, regardless of our gender, regardless of our race. In this department, we will treat everyone equally.”

Hegseth and Trump have also shown support for an independent Pentagon review by the Department of Government Efficiency to uncover wasteful government spending.
