Hegseth Orders Military to Reject Most Anonymous Complaints

Original: Hegseth Orders Military to Reject Most Anonymous Complaints and Put Commanders Back in Charge

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the US military to reject most anonymous complaints and shift authority back to unit commanders. The move is framed as restoring command responsibility, but critics are likely to raise concerns that it could discourage service members from reporting misconduct or abuse. The directive touches on how grievances are handled across the armed forces.

Why now: A new Pentagon directive on complaint handling raises debate over troop protections and command authority.
