Race and sex will no longer be considered in military promotions and academy admissions as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moves to weed out diversity and equity-based programs across the U.S. military.

President’s Trump's push to eliminate DEI from Federal agencies through Executive Orders almost took out the story of an unlikely casualty: The Tuskegee Airmen.

Newly-confirmed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed Sunday in a social media post that the U.S. Air Force will continue teaching about the famed Tuskegee Airmen.

Britt’s office said “resistance style antics” to cast the history of the Tuskegee Airmen as DEI were intended to attack and undermine Trump’s executive order.

The removal of videos honoring Black and female WWII pilots sparked widespread outrage.The Air Force has since reversed its decision, dismissing the controversy as a "rumor."

US Air Force reverses course after removing Tuskegee Airmen video amid Trump DEI ban backlash with Pete Hegseth saying it will not stand.

During his first day at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reversed efforts to cut video of the famed WWII Tuskegee Airmen from Air Force training courses. The Air Force removed videos on the first Black pilots to fly for the U.

A basic training course that included a video about the famed World War II Black aviators was shut down last week in response to President Trump's DEI ban.

Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Defense Department will support "mass deportations in support of the president's objective."

The order, which follows actions Trump took last week to lay the groundwork for it, gives the Pentagon 30 days to report back on its plans to implement the directive and 60 days to actually update its policy on transgender troops.
