Assessing Hegseth’s interim defense strategic guidance

The Pentagon mandated that all combat fitness standards be gender neutral, as directed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a memo released Monday.
This order aims to address previous debates over how to grade women's physical fitness for combat jobs and is expected to reduce the number of women meeting requirements.
Hegseth noted that specific military jobs will retain gender-specific standards, while the military has tried to eliminate barriers for women in combat roles since 2015.
Kristen Griest emphasized that differing fitness standards for women undermine their credibility and hinder trust among teammates.
