As far as I can tell the defense department is cueing off of the experimental drone assault battalion. It was stood up not as permanent battalion. Rather as a developmental battalion to work with what Ukraine has done, learn from it, then report on it for dissemination and implementation across commands. The experimental research battalion is finishing of with drills in Germany and its report is expected later. So while yes some commanders have criticized some sec defs actions. Do we know anything solid about their motive or lack of motive?
A lot of criticism is directed towards hegseth over dismantaling DEI and focusing on the warrior ethos. It’s being criticized as taking focus away from important military concerns.
I find it strange that no one had concerns when the DOD was worried about the carbon footprint aviation squadrons were having or white supremacy and DEI.
I don’t know if the concerns over Hegseth are real or contrived. He has made a lot of sweeping changes and made lots of enemies.
