U.S. President Donald Trump will soon sign executive orders removing diversity, equity and inclusion from the military, reinstating thousands of troops who were kicked out for refusing COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic,

Hegseth told reporters as he arrived at the Pentagon that his first official day would be busy, with additional executive orders expected “on removing DEI inside the Pentagon, reinstating troops who were pushed out because of COVID mandates, Iron Dome for America — this is happening quickly."

Trump's executive orders for the Pentagon will fulfill campaign promises that the Republican reiterated during last week's inaugural address.
