Pentagon Raises Combat Fitness Standards Under Hegseth
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
In this episode, we break down the Pentagon’s new policy that requires all combat roles to meet the highest male physical fitness benchmarks, with strict twice-yearly tests and uniform standards across infantry and special operations. We explore the arguments that this shift will boost combat readiness versus concerns that it will sideline many women, shrink the pool of eligible troops, and mark a major cultural turn away from diversity and inclusion toward a singular focus on peak physical performance.
