Yesterday I was sworn in as the new Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategic Readiness by @USD_PR_HONTata.
It’s the greatest honor of my life to serve this nation once again under the strong leadership of @SecDef and @POTUS in this once-in-a-lifetime administration. I’m extremely thankful for this opportunity and excited to help deliver the President’s America First agenda and help achieve Peace through Strength throughout the world.

@KurtSchlichter @infantrydort Absolutely shaking!!

.@DeptofWar is home to the best and brightest this country has to offer. Project Patriot Pipeline will help us ensure that our Service members, military spouses & federal civilians are building the skills they need to sustain our military advantage, in the Department and in the Defense Industrial Base.

Proud of the @DoW_USW_PR team that has been working tirelessly to launch this critical initiative. Learn more at https://t.co/FEZwRfCNUo.

@infantrydort Dort, causing strife locally and globally.

[Ron Moeller @OGA_Ron]

@Remi_Steele555 Yup!

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Decline was a choice. Not anymore.

In just 14 months, @POTUS has restored our nation’s capital, making it SAFE & BEAUTIFUL.

🧵 500+ instances of graffiti cleaned, 153 homeless encampments removed, 22 fountains restored, 28 statues cleaned, & more. Check out some of the wins ⬇️

More race-baiting garbage from the Failing New York Times and its radical left reporters.

They continue to push this worn out narrative because they view almost everything through the lens of race and gender over merit.

As we’ve said before, military promotions are given to those who have earned them. The Department will never consider the color of a service member’s skin or their gender as a factor in promotions.

Under President Trump and @SecWar Hegseth, meritocracy reigns supreme at the War Department.

@infantrydort Fire for effect!!

Allen, the founder of Camp Ponderosa and the NW Montana Veterans Food Pantry, made the front page when he passed.

A champion for veterans in Northwest Montana, Allen Erickson dies at 86 https://t.co/NwzGKlLsCg #dailyinter-lake

@infantrydort Dort continues his holy rampage!

[Ron Moeller @OGA_Ron]

@CynicalPublius There are too many historical parallels with the pre-WWI French military and the path our military was on until we changed course.
Would make for an interesting barroom conversation!

@Aslans_Return @mnsibley @6Voodoo @strattonbooks @MikeBennet91074 Recreational reading? Who has the time? So no, I've only read his initial book. It was ok.

Tell me how many foreign sabotage teams are here.

1/ Secretary Hegseth just delivered a seminal articulation of America’s strategy in the Pacific at the Shangri-La Dialogue – a “return to realism for the most consequential region in the world: the Pacific.” 1/

[Office of the Assistant Secretary of War M&RA @ASWMandRA]

Readiness starts with people and it shows from the first formation of the day. Through discipline and teamwork, our Sailors and Marines continue to build the strength and resilience that power the force. Investing in them is what keeps us ready. @SecWar

@KTB_500 I'd rather have acceptance from people I respect (and can occasionally snark on)!

[Ron Moeller @OGA_Ron]

@KTB_500 So riddle me this: why does the language of business permeate military-speak?
I cringe everytime I hear someone discuss our "enterprise."

“Under recent administrations, particularly those of Ray Mabus and Carlos Del Toro, naming decisions increasingly reflected contemporary political signaling rather than settled institutional judgment. At the same time, some of the Navy’s greatest combat heroes and most distinguished warships remain conspicuously absent from the fleet register, while USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and USS Gabrielle Giffords represent the Navy. And the mania for ensuring that every Secretary of the Navy has a worthy ship named after him has finally arrived at the door of the Virginia-class submarines with the advent of USS John Dalton (SSN-808).
That imbalance matters.
A warship is not a press release. It is not a campaign banner or ideological slogan. It is a vessel intended to outlive administrations, controversies, and political fashions. Its name should therefore be chosen with the same long horizon.
Otherwise, the Navy risks transforming its ships from instruments of national memory into floating monuments to the passions of the present moment.”
