President Donald Trump has announced a formidable 'America First' team that is set to work alongside his Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth, to restore the United States military to its former glory.
This announcement arrives at a critical time, as America's national defense strategies have faced scrutiny and challenges in recent years.
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump proudly declared, “I am pleased to announce a slate of America First Patriots” who will join forces with Hegseth in leading the Department of Defense (DoD).
The team includes respected figures such as Stephen Feinberg, who will serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Feinberg is known for his success as a businessman and for his involvement in intelligence advisory roles during Trump's first term.
Elbridge "Bridge" Colby, another key appointment as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, previously played a major role in crafting Trump's 2018 defense strategy and is a strong advocate for America First policies.
Moreover, Michael Duffey will take on the role of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment, focusing on ensuring that the U.S. military receives substantial support while being fiscally responsible to American taxpayers.
Emil Michael, an accomplished tech entrepreneur and former special assistant to the Secretary of Defense, has been tapped as Undersecretary for Research and Engineering, where he aims to equip the military with cutting-edge technology while also finding efficiencies to save taxpayer dollars.
With the appointments complete, the team is not just forming a cabinet; it is rallying substantial backing from over 100 Navy SEALs and 120 retired generals and admirals, signaling a united front dedicated to revitalizing the U.S. military.
This alignment of experienced leaders under Trump underscores a commitment to his “Peace Through Strength” doctrine, paving the way for a more formidable national defense strategy that prioritizes America's interests.
As Trump's inauguration approaches, the anticipation grows regarding the appointments and how they will enhance the country’s military stature on the global stage.
Together, this dedicated team embodies a vision of strengthening America's defense while adhering steadfastly to the values that have proven effective for the nation.
