The Pentagon has eliminated 2,700 acquisition rules in an effort to roll back bureaucratic regulations at the Department of War. Michael Duffey, the undersecretary of war for acquisition and sustainment, announced the acquisition regulation rule cuts during his keynote address before the Apex Defense conference on Tuesday, according to National Defense Magazine. Duffey said the rollback came as part of War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s acquisition reforms announced in November 2025. The cuts rolled back Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement regulations, according to the report. The Pentagon did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.
