美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯在五角大楼接受记者采访
美国有线电视新闻网 2025年9月26日报道,六位知情人士透露,国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯突然决定下周在弗吉尼亚州召集包括驻外美军在内的数百名陆军少将和海军少将集会,目的是由他宣布政府将国防部改组为“战争部”,并概述军事人员的新准则。
一名白宫官员向美国有线电视新闻网表示:“这意在展示总统领导下新军队的面貌。”
三名消息人士称,此次会议预计类似一场“动员大会”,赫格塞斯将在会上强调“战士精神”的重要性,并阐述美国军队的新愿景。他还将讨论军官须遵守并执行的新战备、体能及仪容标准。
一位了解会议筹备情况的国防部官员表示:“这就像是把马儿圈进马厩并训练成型。从形象角度看,这些佩星的将官们是更合适的听众。这是赫格塞斯的一场展示,他要告诉这些人:跟上节奏,否则你的职业生涯可能受影响。”
三名消息人士称,赫格塞斯的团队计划录制其演讲并于稍后公开发布;上述白宫官员则表示,白宫将推动扩大该演讲的影响力。
所有消息人士均透露,截至9月26日,赫格塞斯并无计划在会议期间发布与重大国家安全相关的声明。因此,他下令军官亲自出席、离岗参加这场本质上为大型演讲活动的举动,更显出人意料。
特朗普与美国国会、政府和军队领导出席建军250周年阅兵式
上述白宫官员及一名知情人士表示,目前并无计划像唐纳德·特朗普总统所提议的那样,为军官们举办武器展示。两名官员向美国有线电视新闻网透露,特朗普目前不打算参与或出席将于9月30日举行的这场会议。
上述白宫官员及一名知情人士称,这场史无前例的将官集会,其最初构想源自赫格塞斯。该白宫官员表示,赫格塞斯后来将计划告知了白宫,但在9月25日在椭圆形办公室被问及此事时,特朗普本人对细节知之甚少。
美国有线电视新闻网此前报道称,受邀的数百名陆军将官与海军将官也未被告知为何要放下一切赶赴弗吉尼亚州。其中一名国防部官员透露,赫格塞斯已向被召集的将官明确表示,若无法出席,必须为缺席提供极具说服力的理由。
身为陆军老兵的赫格塞斯近年来多次对将官表示鄙视,指责他们要为向美国军事文化中注入关注种族、性别、性取向、阶级等边缘化群体权益的“觉醒”(woke)政治负责。
自上任以来,他已解雇多名知名将官,并于5月下令国防部将四星将官的数量削减至少20%。
美、日、澳海军瞄准中国举行联合军事演习
除美国媒体所披露的上述内容外,不少国际军事观察家认为,在美军面临俄乌冲突久拖不决,俄罗斯军机不时“侵入”与其相邻的北约成员国领空,被美军视为未来主要竞争对手的中国军队军事装备持续进步和以色列肆无忌惮的进攻推动阿拉伯国家联盟成员国加强军事合作的情况下,赫格塞斯在这次高级别美军军官会议的秘密会议上,很可可能讨论他的从过去的全球干预主义转向更加注重本土防御和关键地区威慑,通过核威慑现代化、导弹防御系统建设、军力重构和联盟强化等重建美国的军事威慑力,特别是在印太地区应对中国崛起的挑战,以及为欧洲、中东或印太地区的紧急军事行动做准备等内容。
Hegseth’s surprise gathering of top military brass is to deliver speech on ‘warrior ethos,’ sources say. By Natasha Bertrand, Alayna Treene on CNN. September 26, 2025.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s surprise gathering of hundreds of generals and admirals in Virginia next week is being called so he can describe the administration’s reinvention of the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and outline new standards for military personnel, according to half a dozen people familiar with the planning.
“It’s meant to be a show of force of what the new military now looks like under the president,” a White House official told CNN.
The meeting is expected to resemble “a pep rally” where Hegseth will underscore the importance of the “warrior ethos” and outline a new vision for the US military, said three of the sources. He is expected to discuss new readiness, fitness and grooming standards the officers are expected to adhere to and enforce.
“It’s about getting the horses into the stable and whipping them into shape,” said a defense official familiar with the planning. “And the guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint. This is a showcase for Hegseth to tell them: get on board, or potentially have your career shortened.”
Hegseth’s team is planning on recording his speech and releasing it publicly later, three of the sources said, and the White House is planning to amplify it, the White House official said.
As of Friday, there were no plans for Hegseth to make a major national security-related announcement as part of the meeting, all of the sources said, making it even more surprising that he has ordered the officers to attend in person and leave their posts for what will essentially be a major speech.
As of now, there isn’t expected to be a weapons showcase for the officers as President Donald Trump suggested, according to the White House official and one of the sources familiar with the planning. Trump is not currently planning to be involved or attend the meeting on Tuesday, two officials told CNN.
The original idea for the unprecedented gathering of generals and admirals was Hegseth’s, the White House official and one of the sources familiar with the planning said. Hegseth later let the White House know about the plans, but Trump himself knew very little about the details when he was asked about it in the Oval Office on Thursday, the White House official said.
The hundreds of generals and flag officers who were invited were also not told why they were ordered to drop everything and travel to Virginia, CNN has reported. One of the sources, a defense official, told CNN that it has been made very clear to the general and flag officers summoned by Hegseth that if they can’t attend, they will need to provide an extremely good reason for their absence.
In recent years, Hegseth, an Army veteran, has repeatedly expressed disdain for general and flag officers, accusing them of being responsible for injecting “woke” politics into US military culture.
He has fired a slew of high-profile general and flag officers since taking office, and also ordered the Defense Department in May to cut the number of four-star generals and admirals by at least 20%.
