Hegseth directs U.S. Generals and Admirals to convene for `rare' meeting in
Virginia

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has reportedly directed numerous U.S.
Generals and Admirals, along with some of their staff, to convene next
week at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.

Hegseth ordered an urgent gathering of nearly all active-duty Generals and
Admirals (O-7 to O-10 ranks), and their senior enlisted advisers.

The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 30^th, and the Pentagon
confirmed that Hegseth will address all of the military leaders - without
disclosing the actual reason for the gathering.

According to a retired senior officer who spoke to the press, this sort of
summons is unusual. He stated that it is rare to gather such a large
number of senior military officers - those with the rank of brigadier
general or higher - from both domestic and overseas postings in one
location.

Newsmax reported that "even commanders in conflict zones and those
stationed in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region are
expected to attend. The order does not apply to officers in staff
roles."

The news also follows a series of significant actions by Hegseth,
including the dismissal of top Navy and Air Force leaders, the relief of
the military's chief legal officers, and the implementation of a plan to
reduce the number of senior generals and admirals by 10%.

These decisions have been part of efforts to align military members more
closely with President Trump's national security plans, which includes the
recent move to rename the Department of Defense (DoD) to the "Department
of War" (DoW) - giving the agency a strong "warrior ethos."

Additionally, this week, President Trump called on NATO to take a more
proactive role in Ukraine's defense, advocating for the alliance to use
weapons directly on the front lines to counter Russian advances. He
proposed that the U.S. could sell arms to NATO members, who would then
transfer them to Ukraine, rather than sending equipment directly from
American stockpiles.

"We're sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons,
100%," the GOP president clarified.

Trump made the remarks during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy, just one day after newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to the
United Nations Mike Waltz affirmed at his first Security Council session
that the U.S. remains committed to defending "every inch" of NATO
territory.
