Hegseth Orders Senior Military Schools to Focus on ‘Victory’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced plans to shift the curriculum at US senior service colleges, emphasizing victory and execution over academic theories. In a speech at the Naval War College, Hegseth argued that the focus should be on achieving military success, stating, "To be sure, there are plenty of other important considerations in military life: Ethics, logistics, administration, diplomacy.

But all of them are in service of victory." The changes, which apply to institutions such as the Air War College, Army War College and Naval War College, are part of a broader effort to overhaul the military educational system. The implementation of these changes, which will be overseen by Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata, is expected to take time.
