Hegseth Announces First New US Military Base in 40 Years
Original: Hegseth: "drone command, & an installation that would be the US’ first new military base in 40 years. The Pentagon will
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the Pentagon will establish a drone command and what would be the US military's first new installation in four decades. The department will also commission studies on the future of warfare, led in part by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The involvement of Musk and Gingrich in military planning has drawn attention and some skepticism.
Why now: Hegseth's announcement of a major military reorganization, combined with Elon Musk's role in future warfare studies, is drawing public reaction.
