And I can tell you across the organization, we absolutely feel the responsibility and urgency to deliver more and to deliver it faster.'

The Boeing E-4B 'Nightwatch,' also known as the 'Doomsday plane,' made several loops above the Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska on Monday. The massive jet serves as a flying command post for top officials, including the president, vice president and Secretary of War, during crises.

Hegseth stated that current policies have essentially turned US military installations into gun-free zones, leaving those who live and work on the installations vulnerable.

The White House is seeking a 10 percent cut to nondefense spending, proposing a reduction of $73 billion from federal programs outside the military, targeting environmental initiatives.

Our war fighters are leveraging a variety of advanced AI tools. These systems help us sift through vast amounts of data in seconds so our leaders can cut through the noise and make smarter decisions faster than the enemy can react.

China accounts for roughly 90% of global NdPr production, yet even there, most of that output comes from just 2 hard rock mines and refineries.

Number one is speed takes priority over perfection. We can iterate to get to operational capability.
