[Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao @SECNAV]

Great to be with our @USSOCOM and @CENTCOM warfighters. The integration of special operators and maritime forces gives our Joint Force an agile, lethal edge—ready to strike anywhere, at any time.

It was a privilege to meet directly with our service members at an All-Hands and Prayer Breakfast, while receiving operational updates from ADM Cooper, ADM Bradley, and their leadership teams.

Our discussions reinforced a fundamental truth: America is the best partner you could ask for—but if tested, we will be the worst enemy you’ll ever face.

That guarantee is backed by the unmatched power of the @USNavy and @USMC.

Another milestone for the MQ-25!
