Pentagon seeks sharper definition of extremist activity as military review continues
The Department of Defense is seeking a sharper definition of prohibited extremist activity, among other steps, as it pushes forward with a fight against extremist ideology within the ranks, the Pentagon announced Friday.
The steps include a review of current military policy that allows a service member to belong to an extremist organization as long as they don’t advocate for the group.
The newly announced “critical initial steps” come after the military completed its service-wide discussions about extremism, including a review of the oath of service and current rules about supremacist and extremist ideologies. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin gave the services 60 days to conduct these discussions, which ended this week.
