US: ‘Women can’t be in combat’ – Trump’s Defence Sec, Hegseth orders major military overhaul

Published on April 01, 2025 at 05:18 AM

The United States, US, Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth has ordered the military to make fitness standards for all combat jobs gender neutral.

Hegseth said training standards are lowered to accommodate women in US military.

The US Defence Secretary also opposed women in combat jobs

In a new memo, Hegseth demanded that military leadership should distinguish which jobs are considered combat arms like special operations or infantry, and require ‘heightened entry level and sustained physical fitness' and which are not.

The memo released Monday said all physical fitness requirements for those combat arms positions must be gender neutral, ‘based solely on the operational demands of the occupation and the readiness needed to confront any adversary.'

Posting on X, Hegseth wrote: “For far too long, we have allowed standards to slip. We've had different standards for men/women serving in combat arms MOS's and jobs.... That's not acceptable, and it changes right now!'

“I'm straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles. It hasn't made us more effective. Hasn't made us more lethal.

“Has made fighting more complicated,' he said in a podcast hosted by Shawn Ryan on Nov. 7.

“Women have a place in the military, he said, just not in special operations, artillery, infantry and armor units.”

The secretary added: “Dads push us to take risks. Moms put the training wheels on our bikes. We need moms. But not in the military, especially in combat units.”
