Restoring the Department of War

  • 🎯 The mission of the newly restored Department of War is solely warfighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win, driven by a love for peace and the need for strength.
  • πŸ”‘ The core principle is "peace through strength," emphasizing that only those willing to wage war to defend it deserve peace, and that pacifism is naive and dangerous.
  • ⚑ Enemies will be "crushed by the violence, precision, and ferocity of the War Department" if they challenge the U.S.

Reinstating Standards and Culture

  • 🧠 A fundamental lesson is that "personnel is policy," and good leaders committed to a warfighting culture are essential for taking care of troops.
  • ⚠️ The military has been forced by politicians to focus on the wrong things, leading to decades of decay and a "woke department" that is now being dismantled.
  • 🚫 Policies are being implemented to remove social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage, including ending identity months, DEI offices, and climate change worship.

The Golden Rule Test for Standards

  • πŸ’‘ The new War Department golden rule is: "Do unto your unit as you would have done unto your own child's unit," emphasizing that standards must be high and uncompromising.
  • βš–οΈ Standards must be uniform, gender-neutral, and high, especially in combat arms units, with an emphasis on merit, performance, and warfighting capabilities.
  • πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ The era of politically correct, overly sensitive leadership ends now; leaders must meet the standard, do the job, be disciplined, fit, and trained, or be out.

Overhauling Processes and Promotions

  • πŸ› οΈ Directives are being issued to ensure every combat MOS and combat arms position returns to the highest male standard, with a new combat field test and gender-neutral, age-normed male standards for fitness tests.
  • 🚫 The "walking on eggshells" and zero-defect command culture is being attacked, empowering NCOs to enforce standards without fear of retribution.
  • πŸš€ Promotions across the Joint Force will be based solely on merit, color-blind, and gender-neutral principles, with faster promotion for top performers and quicker removal of poor performers.

Training and Readiness

  • πŸ“š Mandatory training is being drastically reduced to give back real time for motor pool and range training, ensuring adequate money, equipment, and weapons are provided.
  • πŸ’₯ Basic training is being restored to be scary, tough, and disciplined, empowering drill sergeants to use tried and true methods to motivate recruits.
  • 🎯 The focus is on training warriors, not defenders, preparing for war to win with maximum lethality and authority for warfighters, untying their hands from politically correct rules of engagement.
