Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took action to reform the Department of Defense (DOD) on Wednesday, signing a trio of memos designed to cut wasteful spending and improve department efficiency.

Daily Caller has the story:

Hegseth’s orders halt additional non-DoD IT or consultingĀ contractsĀ without prior review by Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, heavilyĀ restrictĀ the use of executive assistants andĀ streamlineĀ weapons testing and review at the Office of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (ODOT&E). The orders were issued in coordination with the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) work to eliminate waste across the entire federal government, with Hegseth claiming in an accompanying Wednesday XĀ postĀ that the Pentagon has already saved $10 billion total ā€œin real savingsā€ from cost-cutting initiatives.

ā€œWe’re committed to reducing bloated bureaucracy and wasteful spending in favor of increased lethality,ā€ Hegseth said in the video posted to X. ā€œThat’s a trade off I will take every single day. Converting consultants into combat power, that’s what we’re doing here at the Defense Department.ā€

Hegseth ordered Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Steven Morani to review current IT and consulting contracts at the Pentagon to identify wasteful or redundant contracts,Ā accordingĀ to the order’s text. IT contracts under $10 million and consulting services under $1 million will be exempt from the cuts, as well as contracts that deal with critical areas, such as engineering, weapon system programs and major defense acquisition programs, among others.

Secretary Hegseth announced these changes in a video posted to X. You can watch the full video below.

These changes are all a part of the Trump administration’s larger mission to reduce bloat and increase efficiency in the federal government. In addition, these order all play into Secretary Hegseth’s larger mission to restore “the warrior ethos” in America.

It is also important to remember that Secretary Hegseth has been under attack recently, perhaps more so than any other member of the administration barring the President himself. Changes like these, although they are good, will only give the Left more ammunition to attack him with.

Let’s pray for the federal government, the Department of Defense, and Secretary Hegseth himself. Let’s pray that the Secretary is able to stand firm and that the Enemy would not be able to touch him or the DOD!

Google pays $300 on a regular basis. My latest salary check was $8600 for working 10 hours a week on the internet. My younger sibling has been averaging $19k for the last few months, and he constantly works approximately 24 hours. I’m not sure how simple it was once I checked it out.

This is my main concern………. https://works99s.pages.dev/

Lord, thank you for Pete Hegseth. Please equip him for all he is to do, and lead and guide him. Help him to seek You daily and to hear You clearly, and to be obedient to You. Protect him and all his loved ones. Thank You, Lord!!! In Jesus’ name, amen.

He is doing his job to build back our American Military to be ready for action when needed. He is doing his best to cut waste. I pray the he uses godly wisdom in all his conversations on social media. My prayer is the voices against Sec. Pete be quieted. Instead of criticizing him we should be praying for him.
In Jesus’ name.

The attacks against Hegseth are justified. His continuing to use Signal, which is an unsecure source of communication, as many as twelve times, his taking his wife to high level meetings and trying to impress Musk by sharing military secrets with him reveals a shocking disregard for the lives of our military. The public should pay attention when his former second and third in command issue a joint statement about the Pentagon being in chaos.

Hegseth is a journalist by trade. He is not a military leader.
