DOD 'will fully execute' Trump's DEI executive order
When asked about how the president's executive order on DEI will affect the military, a Defense Department official told ABC News that the department "will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President."
The latest National Defense Authorization Act already placed some restrictions on DEI roles within DOD, instituting a hiring freeze and capping pay grades, which put the department ahead of other government agencies when it comes to drawing down these offices.
