A Sept. 17 memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directs the “formal disestablishment” of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.
A 75-year-old committee advocating for women in the military will be revived as part of a phased return of 39 DOD groups put on pause earlier this year.
The Pentagon says the defense secretary disagrees with revoking women’s right to vote, after he reposted a video of pastors calling to revoke that right.
