Proud to announce that the Army National Guard achieved its FY 2026 recruiting mission of 37,155 guardsmen yesterday. This marks the THIRD year in a row that the ARNG has hit this achievement and the FIRST time it has achieved this level of sustained recruiting success since FY 2013. ARNG is postured for another successful recruiting year in FY 2027. Job well done, @USNationalGuard!

Today, I am announcing the Joint Warfighter Evaluation.

HERE AM I. SEND ME.

There is NO better way to kick off the SEND ME TOUR than with early morning PT with the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.

For the first time in FIFTEEN YEARS, our Special Forces recruiters achieved their mission of 2,940 candidates. And, for the first time in a DECADE, the U.S. Army Reserves have met their mission of 14,322 future Soldiers in September - two weeks ahead of schedule. The Warriors want IN!   Thank you President Trump, this only happens with your leadership. The spirit is back! And great work and congratulations @USArmy.

The Department of War fully supports President Trump’s decision to kick CNN, MSN̶B̶C̶NOW and Politico to the curb so they can publish their Fake News from outside the White House. We are grateful these outlets already chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. They endangered our troops with false stories, leaks, and trafficked in fiction and lies about the President, our Warriors, and their mission.

This is DISGUSTING and FAKE. A complete LIE. Shame on the Washington Post — they’re worse than Iranian state media.

We will never forget.

Today, at the Pentagon, we unfurled the American flag in solemn remembrance of the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later, their memory remains with us. We will never forget.

On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists carried out a cowardly attack and murdered nearly 3,000 Americans. Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward the danger, and the families who still carry that loss. We will never forget.

A year ago, we lost the incredible Charlie Kirk. His courage, conviction, and unwavering faith left a generational impact — and ignited a spiritual revival — inside our great Republic. We will never forget Charlie, but take great refuge in the fact that he is with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Well done, good and faithful servant.

The new @Southcom.

The @DeptofWar has never had a better Deputy Secretary than Steve Feinberg. Stories like these are COMPLETELY false. Outside forces (i.e. companies he is pressing for results!) want Steve gone because he is so effective in advancing @POTUS’ agenda. His leadership is HISTORIC.

It’s simple: if Iran shoots at U.S. ships, we will destroy (and sink) their oil tankers. All they have to do is not shoot at @USNavy. Iran’s oil tanker fleet is defenseless — Iran has no navy or air force. Our planes, ships & subs can strike them all, in @CENTCOM & @USPACOM.

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. SEND ME!’” — Isaiah 6:8

I was pleased to mark the 75th anniversary of ANZUS with @RichardMarlesMP We will accelerate our close cooperation on force posture and AUKUS to preserve a stable balance of power and ensure our forces remain lethal.

Senior officers deserve the best possible education: effective, unbiased & laser-focused on our core warfighting mission. 🇺🇸 @SecWar directed a Senior Service College Task Force to conduct a comprehensive review of @DeptofWar SSCs. Its mandate: ensure these institutions are anchored in military history, strategy, high standards, meritocracy & overall excellence. That review is now complete. Special thanks to @RobManess, @KurtSchlichter & Tom Anderson for answering the call to serve on this Task Force. Led by Dr. Maurice L. Todd—ASW(R), PhD, MA, MS & top 5% West Point graduate—they delivered critical recommendations to strengthen our SSCs & prepare our military leaders to achieve peace through strength.

As our Nation marks five years since the attack at Abbey Gate, we honor the memory of the thirteen service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their memory will forever live in the heart of a grateful nation.
