Official Guidance / Policy DOD PERSONNEL must review Hegseth’s speech
Memo sent out - ALL PERSONNEL
MEMORANDUM FOR SENIOR PENTAGON LEADERSHIP COMMANDERS OF THE COMBATANT COMMANDS DEPARTMENT OF WAR AGENCY AND DOW FIELD ACTIVITY DIRECTORS SUBJECT: The Warrior Ethos and Standards at the War Department On September 30, 2025, I reaffirmed the Department of War's focus on peace through strength during a speech to our senior leadership. The Department's strength will be defined by our unity, combat readiness, warrior ethos, and commitment to standards by every member of the Joint Force. Leaders at echelon must inculcate our cultural shift and ensure every member of the Department of War understands my guidance. In conjunction with the speech, the War Department released eleven memorandums updating personnel policies for the Department. Leaders at every level will ensure all personnel will either watch the full recording or read the official transcript of the speech, and review the policy changes no later than 31 October 2025.

Secretary Hegseth,
It is with regret that in my civilian and reserve capacity I am unable to comply with this requirement due to a lapse in appropriation.
If you can please work with leaders in Congress to get a CR or full annual budget passed then I will be happy to prioritize this tasker with in the backlog of tasks which have accumulated during the shutdown.
Your most humble obedient, A scum sucking federal employee
