BREAKING: Hegseth Ends Civilian Tenure For Military Academies In Bid To Boost Warfighters Over Academics

A much needed return to America’s tradition of producing the world’s TOUGHEST officers.
It’s time to put lethal warfighters back in command.

.@PeteHegseth is greatest secretary of war in my lifetime and I served 24 years in the army.
And just like that.....this is how you rebuild a warfighting military.👏👏👏
Our fantastic @SecWar has announced the creation of The Joint Warfighter Evaluation. It puts colonels and captains through realistic combat decision-making instead of just stacking staff jobs and polished evaluations.
Eisenhower and Nimitz weren’t selected because they were good at Pentagon PowerPoint. They were selected because they could fight and adapt under pressure.🫡🇺🇸
Our troops deserve commanders chosen the same way.
Well done, Secretary Hegseth.👏👏👏👏

FWIW this guy also went to Harvard. Shocking right? Working with some incredible leaders like @DerrickforVA and @JulesHurstIII, Luke has drafted more meaningful policy proposals, especially for the Army, than most in the Pentagon.
Bureaucrats despise him.
So I like him.
As a proud Virginia Military Institute (VMI) graduate and former active-duty U.S. Army Special Operations Forces Officer, I’m thrilled to follow in George Marshall’s (VMI ‘1901) footsteps to shape America’s officer corps. America demands senior officers that can build and sustain combat power, layer battlefield effects, and impose devastating costs on our Nation’s enemies. The Joint Warfighter Evaluation (JWE) and a departure from careerism are critical to this end and enhancing senior officer selection and assignment processes. Who we promote, and who we empower matters, and affects everything from recruitment, to retention, to readiness and quality of life. Aggressive innovation in talent-management is key, and we must not build a military that operates solely based on the last conflicts it had a positive experience fighting. We are not guaranteed such privilege in the future. Shout out to the many incredible uniformed and civilian leaders across the Joint Force and @DeptofWar working to make the JWE happen and thank you @stuartscheller and @SecWar for trusting me to support this transformative initiative. We’re just getting started! 🇺🇸

Warfighter > Politician 💥🇺🇸
🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth just announced a Joint Warfighter Evaluation that will FORCE colonels and Navy captains to prove they can fight before they ever get a star
HEGSETH: "To cut bureaucracy and demand true meritocracy across our senior ranks!"
"Starting this year, eligible O6s — that's colonels and Navy captains — screening for one star will undergo this assessment to stratify their ability to fight, adapt and win."
"In 1941, General Marshall did not look for consensus builders. He searched for warfighters. Our troops deserve commanders chosen by proven competence, not paper credentials." 🔥
Hegseth is HELLBENT on making sure our military remains the most elite in world history
That ESPECIALLY includes the people who command our warfighters. Leading from the front!
He's been personally showing up around the nation training with our heroes early in the morning to SHOW THEM the top brass must be physically capable just like the troops 🇺🇸
The impeachment attempt against Pete is going to fail miserably.
THAT'S OUR SECWAR.

This will elevate the ranks of military leaders at the top. No doubt the detractors will bitch & moan but you have to ask yourself, why would you not want rigorous standards for your General Officers & Navy Captains? Is it because you are content to see the U.S. military slide into mediocrity? Or is it because you are part of the political machine that has been systematically whittling away the advantages the U.S. military has over America’s enemies through the policy of “over-match” which under Biden’s autopen administration was downgraded to “parity”.
I am not making this up: it comes from a U.S. military General who was told directly that the policy for U.S. forces in space was no longer er “over-match” - it was “parity” & there were multiple orders that I cannot disclose publicly that went along with ensuring that outcome. That is real.
So is the fact that we left behind over $80 billion dollars of military equipment in the hands of terrorists in Afghanistan, including sensitive technology that had given U.S. forces a significant advantage on the battlefield - ie: over-match. Why would anyone do that when there was no one forcing them to do so? No reason to pull out in chaos & adhere to a timeline set by terrorists you could have crushed overnight if you had used a fraction of your advanced military capability? We are facing Americans, leaders within our own country, who have been actively degrading the American military and reducing our advantages on the battlefield as a matter of policy. Not an accident, not a mistake. Intentional.
A new Pentagon promotion test is putting would-be generals into simulated combat scenarios before boards decide who gets a star.
The Joint Warfighting Evaluation will give eligible senior officers military problems to solve, with some versions featuring an AI-powered adversary that responds to their decisions in real time.
"Right now in our current system, we have people that are very good at navigating their careers," Pentagon adviser Stu Scheller tells Fox News Digital, while stressing existing performance reports will remain the "bedrock" of promotion decisions.
The first evaluations are expected in 2027, and each service is taking a different approach.

Pentagon unveils battlefield test to ensure new generals are warfighters – not Washington bureaucrats

There is an Army saying you hear dozens of times when you make full colonel: "Congratulations, that's the last promotion you will ever make based solely on merit."
The idea behind that saying is that when it comes time to compete for a 1-star promotion, you need a sponsor, and having a sponsor who sits on the promotion board matters, greatly.
That's how we get politicized generals who support racist, anti-American nonsense like DEI.
This is a great, great step in replacing politics with merit at our senior ranks.
This is what a revolution in military personnel affairs looks like.

BZ @stuartscheller … what a great opportunity to make an incredible impact.
I look forward to seeing the details of the new O6 EVAL criteria…and in a way, this might play into one of my long-standing “off the reservation” recommendations.
No one should go to a war college until after O5 command. Yes, this would require a lot of changes and restructuring of legacy habits, but if we are going to have a crucible for O6s in the bucket to be the next 1-stars, what would be better than war colleges who help them get ready?
Stuart Scheller retweeted
If this was done decades ago, we would have been in Afghanistan for 5 months and never invaded Iraq.
This is generational change.
BRAVO ZULU.
Stuart Scheller retweeted
This is amazing. They're going to start requiring officers get tested before they can become Generals or Admirations. Why wasn't this done before!
Thank you for your leadership sir. Those of us who have led, bled, and carried dead deserve the best commanders at the controls. This is an apolitical endeavor based on meritocracy. Who is the best at waging war? We are about to find out.
This conservative with an on/off relationship with social media, a permanent position in the Department of War, and many thoughts on the shortcomings of DoW PME, looks forward to aggressively pursuing reforms. Exciting times on the horizon at doWAR...
Thank you to the patriots who responded to our Nation's call to serve on a temporary basis.

Senior officers deserve the best possible education: effective, unbiased & laser-focused on our core warfighting mission. 🇺🇸
@SecWar directed a Senior Service College Task Force to conduct a comprehensive review of @DeptofWar SSCs. Its mandate: ensure these institutions are anchored in military history, strategy, high standards, meritocracy & overall excellence.
That review is now complete.
Special thanks to @RobManess, @KurtSchlichter & Tom Anderson for answering the call to serve on this Task Force. Led by Dr. Maurice L. Todd—ASW(R), PhD, MA, MS & top 5% West Point graduate—they delivered critical recommendations to strengthen our SSCs & prepare our military leaders to achieve peace through strength.
