War Department’s Historic Successes Under America First Policy

The recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela has highlighted transformative changes within the War Department since its reestablishment last year. This initiative underscores that the renaming of the Defense Department to the War Department was merely the beginning of profound shifts.

Under President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth, the War Department has become America’s most effective defense institution. Its efforts have achieved unprecedented results, including nearly halting illegal immigration at the southern border—a first in U.S. history.

The department’s America First policy has also reduced terrorism and drug trafficking while improving military readiness across all branches. Troops are returning to disciplined training methods that prioritize physical fitness and combat effectiveness.

Leadership within the War Department is being restructured to eliminate time-consuming initiatives tied to DEI programs, ensuring soldiers remain focused on their duties without unnecessary distractions.

While some criticized the direct involvement of top leadership at Quantico, the War Department has consistently prioritized practical results and soldier welfare over political theater.
