3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jun 2

Female and Black Navy officers were removed from a promotion list by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to the latest New York Times report.
The move was presented as part of Hegseth’s broader Pentagon purge, which the report grouped with other major national developments in its morning news roundup.
The article offered no public count of officers affected in the excerpt, but identified race and gender as the defining characteristics of those struck from consideration.
The episode adds to scrutiny of personnel decisions at the Pentagon and raises fresh questions about how promotions are being reshaped under Hegseth.
