The proposal, reported by the Wall Street Journal, suggests that this board could operate outside \u200bthe traditional Pentagon promotion \u2062system,\u2064 which could indicate a move to\u2063 purge certain senior generals and admirals. The report links this potential order \u2063to Trump&#8217;s previous critiques \u2064of &#8220;woke&#8221;\u200b military leaders and his intention to streamline the Defense Department, indicating that many underperforming \u200bsenior officers may be retired soon after his inauguration. The panel, referred to \u200cas a &#8220;warrior board,&#8221; would\u200c assess commanders based on leadership capability,\u2063 strategic\u2063 readiness, and\u200d commitment to military\u2063 excellence, reporting directly to Trump. The draft, originating from an external policy\u200c group, is one of many proposals being evaluated by the incoming administration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A new report said that a draft order creating a mechanism for reviewing America&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-graham-we-should-take-back-bagram-afb\/\" title=\"Sen.

The Wall Street Journal noted that while it has reviewed a draft of this document, it does not guarantee its approval or implementation as part of Trump&#8217;s executive orders at the start of his administration. This order would form a board of retired military officials tasked with assessing admirals and generals for their leadership qualities. The report suggests that this initiative aligns with Trump\u2019s previous criticisms of &#8220;woke generals&#8221; and implies an intention to remove certain high-ranking officers, bypassing the Pentagon&#8217;s usual promotion processes. Additionally, commanders would be evaluated on their leadership skills, strategic readiness, and dedication to military excellence by what is referred to as a &#8220;warrior board.&#8221; Those deemed inadequate in leadership could be retired within 30 days at their current rank. While Karoline Leavitt did not comment specifically on the draft, she emphasized Trump&#8217;s mandate from voters to fulfill his campaign promises. The proposed order is part of broader plans by the incoming administration to reorganize the Defense Department and address perceived underperformance among senior military leaders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2368492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Donald-Trump-15.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32911,4505,10460,3634,6227],"class_list":["post-2368491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-executive-order","tag-military","tag-purge","tag-trump","tag-wokeness"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Donald-Trump-15.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2368491"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2368495,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2368491\/revisions\/2368495"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2368492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2368491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2368491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2368491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
