The Pentagon is launching a new task force to root out neo-Marxist ideology plaguing America’s war colleges, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday.
“We want military leaders who are critical thinkers; that have studied the principles upon which our Founding Fathers established this republic; and that are educated and prepared to win wars,” Hegseth said in a video message. “After the wokeness and weakness of Joe Biden’s administration, our warfighters deserve training with integrity; where the focus is on the warrior ethos, on deterrence, and on strength.”
Hegseth said that he has instructed Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to establish a task force to “evaluate” America’s senior service colleges, where “our senior officers go to continue their education.” These institutions include the Army War College, Naval War College, National Defense University, and others.
Per the secretary, Tata’s task force will seek to “ensure that the professors, administrators, and curriculum of those institutions are focused on national security, strategy, history, and overall excellence.” It will also look to “confirm that high standards and meritocracy are forefront and make sure that what we’ve seen in our civilian institutions never surface in our military education institutions.”
“Trust me, I’ve heard the stories. I know some of our own senior service colleges … have similar courses and similar ideologies. We need to rip ’em out, and we’re going to,” Hegseth said. “This task force will have 90 days to assess whether our senior service colleges … are actually effective. They’re going to identify any deficiencies and make sure they’re focused on core national security issues.”
Professional Military Education should produce warfighters and leaders—not wokesters.

Like their civilian counterparts, the promotion of DEI and other left-wing ideologies by America’s war colleges has become a pertinent issue in recent years. --->READ MORE HERE
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday night announced the formation of a new task force that would conduct a review of U.S. war colleges to ensure they are “effective” and focused on core national security issues.
Hegseth said the task force, which will be established by the undersecretary of Defense for personnel and readiness, Anthony Tata, will assess whether the senior service colleges — such as the Army War College, National Defense University, the Naval War College, Marine Corps University and the Air War College — are “actually effective.”
“They’re going to identify any deficiencies and make sure they’re focused on core national security issues,” Hegseth said in a three-minute video posted on social platform X. “We want military leaders who are critical thinkers that have studied the principles on which our founding fathers established this republic, and that are educated and prepared to win wars.”
The task force will have 90 days to produce a report on its findings.
War colleges offer professional military education to Pentagon civilians, high-ranking officers and international partners, focusing on national security, joint operations and strategy.
The formation of the task force comes after the Pentagon chief ordered last month the cancellation of members of the military attending some of the country’s top-ranked colleges and universities, including Princeton University, Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, arguing the institutions are teaching the “enemy’s wicked ideologies.” --->READ MORE HERE
