#warpowers — Public Fediverse posts

The #Pentagon has pulled DECADES of classified documents from a secret computer system commonly used by #defense officials & #US #troops, after WaPo published a story detailing senior #military officers’ concerns about the #IranWar.

Documents associated with the #SDOB were removed from an internal web portal on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), 3 people familiar with the matter said.

The result was an #Army depleted of leaders, & an Army secretary & a #Pentagon chief at constant odds. #Hegseth has ended dozens of Army careers, all without any clear explanation. He now has driven out the secretary of the Army.

#DanDriscoll’s departure puts the Pentagon even more firmly under the control of Hegseth & his #MAGA agenda.…

…Since his arrival at the #Pentagon early last year, #Hegseth — a former #FoxNews host who appealed to #Trump loyalists by deriding a “woke” #military & advocating for leniency for troops charged with #WarCrimes — has sought to reshape the #Army. He has placed like-minded generals in positions of influence, intervened to stymie the promotions of lower ranking-officers, & gutted diversity initiatives.

#DanDriscoll’s personal appeal to #Trump just days before his exit was the most direct articulation of high-level concerns among #Pentagon leaders about the strains facing the force—including #Hegseth’s intervention in #Army personnel decisions & the mounting demands of the #IranWar.

[Prior to his resignation] #ArmySecretary #DanDriscoll brought his concerns about the future of the #Army under #Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth directly to #Trump — a sign of how far tensions between the #Pentagon leaders had escalated, & of the #dysfunction inside the building….

Leaders of the US European Command, the US Pacific Command & the US Southern Command, along with the Navy’s top admiral, responded with what is characterized in the #SDOB as a “non-concur,” those familiar with the assessment said — meaning they disagree with the secretary’s order to extend their forces but will execute it nevertheless.

The Aug 14 #SDOB directs some troops deployed in the #MiddleEast to remain there through September & some others into 2027, said those familiar with the document. The prospect of extending those forces further compelled #military leaders to voice their concern, these people said.

The #SDOB, typically produced twice monthly, outlines the worldwide availability of #US warships, aircraft, personnel & weapons systems. It reflects the president’s priorities for the force, which are carried out by the defense secretary, & includes insights from the #military’s top generals & admirals that inform the directives the #Pentagon issues.

The warnings — detailed for #Hegseth by the heads of the #Army, #Navy & #AirForce & the four-star commanders overseeing #US operations throughout #Europe, #Asia & #LatinAmerica — appear in the Aug 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book ( #SDOB ), these people said. They described the assessment to WaPo on the condition of anonymity because the document is #classified.

The #US announced a NEW round of strikes on #Iran Monday, hours after #Trump said that the United States is “reinstating” a #blockade on Iran in the #StraitOfHormuz &, in a seeming policy reversal, will charge other ships #fees for safe passage. Iran has insisted it controls the critical #InternationalWaterway, as another exchange of fire threatened a return to all-out #war.

#Trump’s threat that the #US could charge #fees on ships transiting through the #StraitOfHormuz breaks with his own admin’s stance. Last month, Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said, “It’s an #InternationalWaterway,” referring to the strait. “No country is allowed to charge #tolls or fees on an international waterway. That’s existing #InternationalLaw.”
