Libs of TikTok shared an image of a memo from Lieutenant General Joseph Berger regarding the formation of an &#8220;Office of Professional and Organizational Development.&#8221; This initiative aimed to &#8220;consolidate&#8221; various programs, including the Judge Advocate Recruiting Office, Wellness Program, and notably, the &#8220;Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Program.&#8221; Libs of TikTok pointed out that \u201crebranding DEI is still DEI\u201d and contradicts executive orders from former President Trump aimed at eliminating such programs. The Army&#8217;s official account responded by stating that Berger&#8217;s memo was outdated and confirmed that \u201cDEI is dead\u201d in the Army. They also noted compliance with Trump&#8217;s orders. Additionally, Libs of TikTok highlighted a now-deleted podcast where Berger acknowledged that this new office would continue DEI efforts within the Army. They argued that if the Army claims compliance with Trump&#8217;s directives, it implies recent scrutiny into this new office led to the removal of DEI initiatives. The account insisted on accountability for any government officials attempting to rebrand DEI efforts.
