U.S. Defense Secretary reviews military standards, considering uniform fitness and combat rules.
The U.S. Defense Secretary is reviewing military standards on combat, physical fitness, and appearance, considering whether to adopt uniform standards or account for service differences and evolving social norms.
This review, led by Pete Hegseth, who opposes women in combat roles, could lead to changes in fitness tests, potentially making them gender-neutral and the same across all services.
Current tests vary by service and are often adjusted for age and gender.
The review may impact recruitment and retention if new, stricter standards are implemented.
