Overview

• Pentagon officials said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will address senior military leaders early next week.
• The Washington Post reported orders for all command generals and their senior advisers to report to Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday.
• CNN cited U.S. officials saying hundreds of generals and admirals were summoned for the gathering.
• The meeting was described by the Washington Post as highly unusual, and an anonymous official said officers are very worried.
• It remains unclear whether the event is connected to Hegseth’s May directive to reduce the number of generals and admirals, as President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance publicly downplayed its significance.
