The first day in office of the Pentagon head warns profound changes

The announcement was made Monday by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Mr. Hegseth, a former reporter of the Fox News television network and veteran war, was approved in the Senate with a narrow majority, which marked a great victory for President Trump, following fierce opposition from the Democrats and some republics of his candidacy.

“More executive commands will be adopted”, told Mr. Hegseth to reporters today at the Pentagon on his first full day on this assignment.

Mr. Hegseth has promised to bring major changes to the Pentagon. One of his priorities was the elimination of programmes on diversity, equality and involvement in the military.

Mr. Hegseth was greeted at the entrance to the building (Pentagonite) by the highest military, Chief of Chiefs of United Staff, General of Air Force C.Q. Brown, who was criticized in one of his last books.

Asked if he would fire Mr. Brown, Mr. Hegseth answered jokingly that he was standing next to him.

I'm standing next to him right now and I'm looking forward to working on it” Said he put his hand on Mr Brown's shoulder.

The news agencyReuters has earlier announced the possibility of mass dismissals of highest-ranking army officers or executives, something that Mr. Hegseth repeatedly refused to exclude during his confirmation process in Congress.

Mr. Hegseth's appointment created divisions in the Senate, as the top position at the Pentagon historically has been entrusted to candidates with profound experience in running large organisations who enjoy wide bipartisan support. /voa
