War Secretary Pete Hegseth has terminated a 74-year-old military advisory committee for women because it harms U.S. combat capabilities, Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson said in a Sept. 23 post on X.
“Secretary Hegseth has decided to terminate the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services [DACOWITS],” Wilson said. “The Committee is focused on advancing a divisive feminist agenda that hurts combat readiness, while Secretary Hegseth has focused on advancing uniform, sex-neutral standards across the Department.”
