    After years of feminizing the US military through DEI initiatives, a new executive order under consideration by the Trump transition team would establish a "warrior board" of retired senior military personnel which would be granted the power to review three- and four-star officers and recommend any removals of those deemed unfit for leadership.

    A draft review of the Executive Order seen by the Wall Street Journal could fast-track generals and admirals found to be "lacking in requisite leadership qualities," given President-elect Donald Trump's past vow to fire "woke generals" who have promoted diversity among the ranks at the expense of military readiness.

    As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals. 

    The draft order says it aims to establish a review that focuses “on leadership capability, strategic readiness, and commitment to military excellence.” The draft doesn’t specify what officers need to do or present to show if they meet those standards. The draft order originated with one of several outside policy groups collaborating with the transition team, and is one of numerous executive orders under review by Trump’s team, a transition official said. -WSJ
