Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Released from Hospital, Expected to Make Full Recovery

Austin, who continued his duties while hospitalized, will now work remotely before returning to the Pentagon.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday after a two-week stay due to complications from a prostatectomy.
Austin's hospitalization was initially kept a secret from Congress, the White House, and the public, sparking policy changes and inquiries into the lack of transparency.
While in hospital, Austin continued to perform his duties, including ordering airstrikes against Houthi targets.
Austin is expected to make a full recovery and will continue to perform his duties from home before returning full time to the Pentagon.
Austin's cancer was treated early and effectively, and he has no planned additional treatment.
