Pete Hegseth, as defense secretary, has sought to cultivate an image as a manosphere-friendly leader.

For the first time in more than a decade, no active-duty female Navy officers are likely to be promoted to admiral this year.

Officials anticipated a problem soon after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lifted the vaccine requirement in April.

Gen. Christopher T. Donahue was seen as a rising star in the Army. But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth viewed him with skepticism.

The defense secretary described the vaccine requirement, which he lifted in April, as an “absurd, overreaching” mandate.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has repeatedly curtailed journalists’ access in the Pentagon.

The Navy secretary, John Phelan, was supposed to deliver the first of the president’s ships by 2028. The timeline was nearly impossible.

John Phelan is leaving the Pentagon after months of tension with Pete Hegseth and other Pentagon leaders. The tumult comes as the Navy has been engaged in war with Iran.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the mandate “overreaching” in announcing the policy change. The vaccine will remain available to service members who want to be inoculated.
