Senior U.S. military officials urge military lawyers to prioritize support for frontline combat personnel.

[Important Supplement]: US Defense Secretary Calls for Military Lawyers to Prioritize Supporting Combat Personnel

On March 11, 2026, Washington time, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a video message posted on the social media platform "X":

Military lawyers should prioritize supporting combat personnel. Commanders need flexible, independent, and precise legal advice to achieve decisive actions, rather than endless procedures or turf battles. Military legal support needs a hard reset because it has become bloated and redundant. Our soldiers deserve a legal team as lethal and focused as they are.
