BLOG DISCLAIMER
This blog was created as a public service. It is a Cliff’s Notes version of the actual 900 pages of text found in PROJECT 2025. It is not a commentary. Most importantly - It DOES NOT reflect my opinion in any way.
SPECIAL NOTE: I RESTRUCTURED THIS BLOG SO THAT POSTS ARE SHORTER AND MORE TO THE POINT
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE – Part 2
DOD Personnel
The men and women of America's armed forces are the most critical component of our National Defense strategy, but in recent years, they have been overextended, undervalued, and insufficiently resourced. Young civilians who would thrive in a military environment are disenfranchised when educators and influencers discourage them from learning about military service and preparing for the honor of wearing America's uniform.

DOD Personnel - Needed reforms
1. Increase the number of Junior ROTC programs in secondary schools.
2. Exceptions for individuals who are already predisposed to require medical treatment (for example, HIV positive or suffering from gender dysphoria) should be removed, and those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service. Physical fitness requirements should be based on the occupational field without consideration of gender, race, ethnicity, or orientation
3. Strengthen protections for chaplains to carry out their ministry according to the tenets of their faith
4. Reinstate servicemembers to active duty who were discharged for not receiving the COVID vaccine, restore their appropriate rank, and provide back pay
5. Eliminate Marxist indoctrination and divisive critical race theory programs and abolish newly established diversity, equity, and inclusion offices and staff.
6. Audit the course offerings at military academies to remove Marxist indoctrination, eliminate tenure for academic professionals, and apply the same rules to instructors that are applied to other DOD contracting personnel.
7. Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries or to facilitate abortion for servicemembers should be ended.
8. Audit all curricula and health policies in DOD schools for military families, remove all inappropriate materials, and reverse inappropriate policies.

DOD Intelligence
Overall, “[t]he DoD provides 86 percent of the personnel who conduct intelligence activities, both military and civilian.” If they continue on their current path, however, both the DIE and the Intelligence Community writ large will continue to provide inaccurate and politicized intelligence assessments that mislead policymakers.

DOD Intelligence- Needed Reforms
Align, collect, collection and analysis with vital national interest (countering China and Russia)
Rebuild human intelligence (HUMINT) and counterintelligence (CI).
Alignment between DOD and DHS both to improve the defense national border integrity and to develop vital information that enables defense against foreign targeted disruptions.

[HISTORICAL NOTE – 5 January 2021 “(Miller) issued orders which prohibited deploying DC National Guard members with weapons, helmets, body armor or riot control agents without his personal approval…after rioters breached the Capitol Police perimeter, Miller waited more than three hours before authorizing the deployment of the National Guard.”]
