Hegseth wants MAXIMUM effectiveness for the military!
"Clarify roles and reporting. No more moral ambiguity!"
"Align functions so that military legal stays laser-focused on warfighting and readiness. Let civilian lawyers handle non-operational stuff, acquisitions, civilian personnel, IP, real estate, environmental on bases, litigation outside of military channels."
"We laid out our recommended split, military matters to JAGs and the SGA, civilian to general counsels, with room for limited shared areas like standards of conduct or FOIA and privacy, if it makes sense for the services."
"But the priority is maximum support to the warfighter. And this includes reviewing active, reserve, and guard components."
"Bottom line, sharpen our legal edge. To sharpen our warfighting edge, no more distractions, no more shortages in the fight because of misplaced priorities. Our warriors deserve legal teams as lethal and focused as they are. Let's get it done for them and for the country!"
