Defense Secretary Hegseth calls Pentagon bureaucracy an "adversary" and pushes reforms to boost military readiness and speed.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has labeled the Pentagon’s bureaucracy an "adversary" of the United States, accusing its slow, rigid processes of undermining military readiness and innovation.
Speaking to defense leaders, he criticized centralized planning, excessive risk aversion, and contractor dependence, calling for urgent reforms to enable faster weapons acquisition and decision-making.
Hegseth has already eliminated over $580 million in wasteful programs, restructured the civilian workforce, and reduced reliance on outside consultants to build a leaner, more agile defense system capable of operating on a wartime footing.
