Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson announced that Secretary Pete Hegseth will terminate the Defense Department Advisory Committee on Women in the Services — a 74-year-old federally established panel whose recommendations have been adopted more than 90% of the time — alleging it is “advancing a divisive feminist agenda that hurts combat readiness.”“Secretary Hegseth has focused on advancing uniform, sex-neutral standards across the Department,” Wilson wrote in a social media statement.
Politico described the Committee as one that “encourages” women to enter the military.
“One of the oldest Defense Department advisory committees is no more,” noted award-winning journalist Jim Laporta of CBS News, a former Marine who has written extensively on the U.S. military.
“Since 1951, the Committee has submitted over 1,100 recommendations to the secretary for consideration.
