    President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed nearly 800 generals and admirals at Marine Corps Base Quantico, setting out 10 directives to tighten fitness and grooming standards and roll back initiatives they labeled as “woke” [lemonde.fr#5][firstpost.com#2][semafor.com#4]. Trump said U.S. cities should serve as military “training grounds” in a “war from within,” signaling a greater domestic focus for some military units [bbc.com#7][japantoday.com#3][lemonde.fr#5]. Hegseth criticized “fat generals” and told commanders who disagreed to resign, underscoring an emphasis on loyalty to the new direction [japantoday.com#3][firstpost.com#2][firstpost.com#1].

    Highlights:

    • Directives outlined: Hegseth rolled out 10 directives aimed at dismantling “woke” efforts, overhauling fitness standards, and imposing stricter grooming rules across the force [firstpost.com#2][semafor.com#4].
    • Domestic focus: Trump told commanders that U.S. cities should be used as troop “training grounds” in a broader “war from within” emphasis [bbc.com#7][japantoday.com#3][lemonde.fr#5].
    • Standards changes: Proposals include an end to beards, stricter physical tests, and applying “male standards” to combat troops, according to the presentations [lemonde.fr#5][firstpost.com#2].
    • Size of audience: Nearly 800 generals and admirals attended the Quantico summit with the President and Defense Secretary [lemonde.fr#5].
    • Message to leaders: Hegseth criticized “fat generals” and told those whose “heart sinks” at his words to resign [japantoday.com#3][firstpost.com#2][firstpost.com#1].
