President-elect Trump is expected to transform the U.S. military from the Pentagon, with promises to slash spending, thin the top ranks and roll back efforts to make the military more inclusive to transgender and women soldiers.
While Trump has not presented clear policies for the Defense Department or yet named a nominee to head the Pentagon, his allies and former administration officials have laid out a blueprint for deep change.
The plan includes controversial cultural war issues, reducing wasteful defense spending and decreasing the number of generals in the military, although it also includes less divisive measures, such as enhancing nuclear strategy, prioritizing China and building a resilient military.
The 2024 Republican platform promises that the GOP “will ensure our military is the most modern, lethal and powerful force in the world.”
“We will invest in cutting-edge research and advanced technologies, including an Iron Dome Missile Defense Shield, support our troops with higher pay,” the platform reads, and “get woke leftwing Democrats fired as soon as possible.”
