Hegseth directs ‘joint warfighting ability’ be considered for officer, NCO promotions
BLUF – The article reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed the military to consider “joint warfighting ability” when evaluating officers and senior enlisted personnel for promotion and advancement. The memo provides little detail on how this capability will be defined or measured, but the Pentagon says the effort is part of a broader review intended to ensure promotion systems are objective, data-driven, and focused on warfighting effectiveness. The policy signals a growing emphasis on experience and performance in joint operations involving multiple military services, aligning promotion criteria more closely with the demands of modern multidomain warfare. There is no indication if or how this would impact those in Navy Medicine.
