Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of the military’s highest-ranking leaders to gather next week at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, for what the Pentagon is billing as a lecture on “warrior ethos.”
According to reporting by The Washington Post, the summons, delivered with little notice, applies to every one-star general and admiral in command positions, along with their senior enlisted counterparts. Attendance, officials were told, is mandatory; exceptions will be rare and require sign-off from top brass. The meeting is set for September 30, the final day of the government’s fiscal year.
Pentagon officials have released few details about the event beyond confirming that Hegseth intends to address the assembled commanders. His team has framed it as the first in a series of short, themed talks: this one on “warrior ethos,” with future sessions on the defense industrial base and deterrence planned in the months ahead, multiple sources told the Post.
“It’s meant to be an eyeball-to-eyeball kind of conversation,” said one source, described as a “person familiar with ongoing discussions” in the Post article. “He wants to see the generals.”
The directive, however, has sparked unease across military circles. Staff officers scrambled to arrange last-minute travel, while some lawmakers questioned the costs and optics of pulling so many senior leaders away from their posts simultaneously — especially on the eve of a potential government shutdown.
Per the Post, Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), an Army veteran, prepared a letter questioning the cost and potential security risks of pulling so many top commanders away from their posts on short notice. Her office began circulating the draft on Friday in hopes of securing additional Democratic signatures, while also pressing for a Pentagon briefing ahead of Tuesday’s meeting.
Also on Friday, Hegseth responded to a post on X from retired senior officer Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges comparing his planned address to Nazi-era political moves, writing, “Cool story, General.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned senior U.S. military officers from around the world to a meeting in Quantico, Virginia next week, five officials told Reuters on Thursday, a rare gathering of U.S. military leadership in one location.
It was not clear why Hegseth has ordered the generals and admirals to meet in one place on such short notice, and two of the officials said this has created uncertainty among the expected attendees.
Senior military officials in some cases command thousands of troops. Most have detailed schedules weeks in advance, which have now been upended.
"People are scrambling to change their plans and see if they have to attend," one U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
It was unclear how many officials will actually attend the event, but it is rare to have so many senior officials in the same room at the same time.
Asked for comment, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said only: "The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week." Trump has ordered the department to rename itself the Department of War, a change that will require action by Congress.

Parnell's office did not respond to questions about the number of officers, purpose of the meeting or why Hegseth called so abruptly.
At the White House, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said such a meeting was "not unusual at all."
The U.S. has troops around the world, including in distant locations like South Korea, Japan and across the Middle East-- which are commanded by two, three and four-star generals and admirals.
Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved with stunning speed to reshape the department, firing top generals and admirals as he seeks to implement Trump's national security agenda and root out diversity initiatives he calls discriminatory.
In February, he fired Air Force General C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, along with five other admirals and generals in an unprecedented shake-up of U.S. military leadership.
Last month, Hegseth fired the head of the Pentagon's intelligence agency and two other senior military commanders.
In May, Hegseth ordered a 20% reduction in the number of four-star officers. In that May memo, Hegseth said there would also be a minimum 20% reduction in the number of general officers in the National Guard and an additional 10% reduction among general and flag officers across the military.
"More generals and admirals does not lead to more success," Hegseth said at the time.
Now, many of those generals and admirals will be in the same room.
"It's probably more mundane than people think... (but) the lack of clarity isn't helping," the official said.

As Our Generals and Admirals Fly Home,
Our Adversaries Watch and Wait

THE BULWARK
WHEN I SAW THE NEWS that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had ordered all U.S. military flag officers (generals and admirals) to gather at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, next week along with their senior enlisted advisors, my first response was disbelief. Not disbelief that the secretary of defense might want to deliver a strong message to the senior leaders of the force, but disbelief at the method.
In my forty years in uniform, I never saw anything like it. While senior leaders have been recalled to Washington to meet with the secretary of defense during all our wars, never once did a secretary summon all of the hundreds of one- to four-stars from each of the services, plus their top enlisted counterparts, from every corner of the globe to a single auditorium. Not during the Cold War, not during Desert Storm, not during the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not Rumsfeld, not Gates, not Panetta, not Mattis, not Austin.
They likely didn’t do it because it is disruptive. It is expensive. And it is unnecessary.
Even more remarkable, no one seems to know the reason for the meeting or what Secretary Hegseth intends to say. Normally, even when classified issues are in play, senior leaders have at least a broad sense of the agenda at a meeting of general officers and flag officers (GOFOs) and their senior enlisted advisors. Here, nothing. So, as you might imagine, speculation is running rampant.
And where speculation thrives, humor follows. A retired command sergeant major who once served at my side joked with me that maybe Secretary Hegseth just wants to give a “payday safety briefing.” That’s the talk small-unit leaders give their troops after payday: “Don’t drink and drive; stay out of trouble; don’t do dumb things; stay out of jail!” It’s absurd to imagine four-star generals being lectured on avoiding DUIs. But that again just brings us back to our speculation: If not that, then what could possibly justify such an expensive, disruptive spectacle?
There are a handful of possible explanations.
The global security environment is fraught with dangers, so perhaps the meeting has to do with a rapidly shifting national security strategy. Russia continues to press on Ukraine and Ukraine is answering with aplomb. China postures in the Pacific. The Middle East simmers. NATO feels strain both inside and out; currently, the United States and its allies are conducting a massive nuclear exercise in Europe. Perhaps Hegseth wants to frame a major shift in U.S. defense priorities—something so consequential he believes it must be done face to face.
Or perhaps, since the secretary has publicly floated proposals to shrink the number of general and flag officers, he’s ready to make an announcement to the assembled mass of senior leaders. Since he’s already fired a dozen generals, by summoning the entire group, he could be sending a warning shot: “You’re all on notice.” Since it seems Congress is mired in fights over defense spending and there are some doubts about a spending bill passing next week, Hegseth may want to discuss cuts, delays, or reprioritization of funds. The secretary may want to prepare the force for fiscal pain.
Hegseth has voiced anger over the leaking of classified, and even unclassified, information to the point that he recently quashed journalists’ ability to freely report inside the Pentagon. Perhaps he wants his commanders to echo that approach, or maybe he believes a closed-door confrontation with the senior ranks is the best, most efficient way to handle the issue.
Or maybe this meeting has as its primary goal the optics of power, the secretary reminding his senior troops that he’s in charge. It’s hard to picture that—every senior officer in the U.S. military corralled in one place, under his glare. I personally hope that’s not the reason for this gathering, as that’s power theater, not crisis management.
After addressing all these potential reasons, one thing that our media may not be considering: Adversaries and allies are watching. This sudden, global, emergency recall of America’s top brass is a flashing red light to them: Something must be wrong inside the Pentagon.
Even if one accepts that any of these issues—strategies, cuts, budgets, leaks, or priorities—demands immediate attention, the method is baffling and the cost will be staggering: millions of dollars in taxpayer money. And that’s before counting the opportunity cost of lost focus and readiness. To Quantico will come four-star commanders from Korea and Japan, Hawaii and Europe. Three-stars from the UAE, Qatar, Iraq, and other Middle Eastern posts. Two-stars and one-stars from Germany, Italy, and various NATO headquarters. Officers will literally disembark from aircraft carriers in the South China Sea or the Mediterranean to catch flights. Each will travel with aides, communications specialists, and security teams. All will require flights, hotel rooms, and transportation.
Every one of those leaders has an important mission. A combatant commander in the Pacific manages deterrence against China and North Korea as well as preparedness against other adversaries. A three-star in the Middle East balances fragile coalitions while countering Iranian aggression. A two-star in Europe helps oversee U.S. and NATO responses to Russia. Pulling them all out at once hollows out the top tier of global command. Deputies will cover, yes—but adversaries will notice the vacuum. This is not an abstraction. The United States is engaged in active deterrence across multiple theaters. Our enemies watch for seams. To disrupt the world’s most powerful military by having its leaders travel across multiple time zones to stage a mass meeting in Virginia is nothing less than operational malpractice.
THE IRONY IS that better options exist—and have been proven in practice. Secure video teleconferencing has been part of Pentagon life for decades. During the early stages of the War on Terror, President George W. Bush personally held secure VTCs with combatant commanders across the global footprint: Afghanistan, Iraq, the Horn of Africa, Europe, the Pacific, Korea. The president of the United States could span the world in a single conversation, connecting directly with leaders on the ground.
As the U.S. Army’s operations officer and later as the commander in Europe, I sat in on secure video sessions with the Pentagon one afternoon each week from 2004 to 2011, except when I was deployed to Iraq. We spent hours every Saturday connecting with commanders from across the globe, sharing situational awareness, synchronizing planning, passing critical information, and executing global contingencies—all without flying hundreds of generals and admirals away from their posts.
That was wartime. That was crisis. And it was done virtually, securely, effectively. So why is it suddenly necessary to convene at Quantico?
Inside the force, this recall will be read as a show of power. It will be received less as We need you here and more as I can make you come. In private conversations, senior leaders will ask the obvious question: Why are we spending millions and creating global vulnerabilities for a meeting that could be done in an hour on secure video? As they say in baseball, it’s a long run for a short slide.
Leaders won’t ask it publicly. But the quiet skepticism will erode confidence and trust in civilian leadership. That erosion matters. In the military, morale is built not only on what leaders say but on whether they make sound decisions.
The troops on the ground may joke, as my friend did, about a “payday safety briefing.” The rest of us should recognize the deeper concern: In a moment when readiness is our greatest asset, the secretary of defense has chosen disruption, cost, and vulnerability to stage a demonstration of power.
It’s the wrong message, delivered in the wrong way, at the wrong time.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued urgent orders for 800 generals and admirals in the U.S. military worldwide to a meeting at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, on short notice and without a stated reason, The Washington Post first reported.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the orders were issued earlier this week and have caused alarm and confusion among the nation’s top brass. The orders, highly unusual in their own right, come in the midst of a looming government shutdown and on the heels of the Trump administration attempting to rename the Department of Defense the “Department of War.”
Pentagon spokesman and senior Hegseth adviser, Sean Parnell, said in a statement released Thursday that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but offered no further details. Among the commanders expected to be at the gathering are those currently in active war zones and diplomatically sensitive areas, such as the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
“People are very concerned. They have no idea what it means,” one person familiar with the orders told the Post.
Others expressed frustration and noted that military preparedness could be compromised by the meeting.
“It will make the commands just diminished if something pops up,” a defense official said.
Another person took issue with the sudden ordering of hundreds of high-ranking officials to one location, saying this is “not how it is done.”

The New York Times also reported that the order has been given, reporting that it “has stirred anxiety among the military’s top ranks.”
Since his confirmation earlier this year, Hegseth has been at the helm of dramatic changes at the Pentagon. In April, Hegseth oversaw a “DEI purge” at the U.S. Naval Academy, leading to controversial book bans there.
In May, Hegseth issued a directive to remove 100 generals and admirals from their positions. Following this, Hegseth called for a 20% cut of four-star generals in active service and in the National Guard. In June, he ordered the Navy to rename one its ships, which bore the name of an assassinated gay rights activist and Navy veteran, Harvey Milk.

Hegseth orders top brass to attend last-minute meeting at Quantico early next week
Cybele Mayes-Osterman, USA TODAY
Thu, September 25, 2025 at 10:40 AM MDT
WASHINGTON − Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered about 800 senior military leaders stationed around the world to come to a last-minute meeting in northern Virginia on Sept. 30.
A meeting with such senior leadership would normally be planned months in advance.
"The secretary of war will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week," Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement. The Pentagon declined to disclose the reason for the meeting, which will occur at Quantico, a Marine Corps base around 30 miles south of the Pentagon.
All senior officers at the rank of brigadier general and above must attend the meeting, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the meeting. Around 800 officers currently fall into that category, according to the Congressional Research Service.
Senior military officials in some cases command thousands of troops. Most have detailed schedules weeks in advance, which have now been upended.
It was unclear how many officials would actually attend the event, but it is rare to have so many senior officials in the same room at the same time.
The U.S. has troops around the world, including in distant locations like South Korea, Japan and across the Middle East – which are commanded by two, three and four-star generals and admirals.
Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved with stunning speed to reshape the department, firing top generals and admirals as he seeks to implement Trump's national security agenda and root out diversity initiatives he calls discriminatory.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth convened a sudden meeting with around 800 senior military officers on Tuesday.
In February, he fired Air Force General C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, along with five other admirals and generals in an unprecedented shake-up of U.S. military leadership.
Last month, Hegseth fired the head of the Pentagon's intelligence agency and two other senior military commanders.

"More generals and admirals does not lead to more success," Hegseth said at the time.
Now, many of those generals and admirals will be in the same room.

Pete Hegseth Calls Alarming Meeting With Hundreds of Military Leaders

THE NEW REPUBLIC
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has urgently called on hundreds of U.S. military officials around the globe for a spontaneous meeting at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, though the reason for the gathering remains top secret.
The unusual directive was received by top military commanders stationed around the world, ordering them to meet in Quantico on Tuesday, reported The Washington Post. There are approximately 800 U.S. generals and admirals in total. Hegseth’s order applies to “all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their Navy equivalent, serving in command positions and their top enlisted advisers,” insiders told the Post. It does not apply to military officers who hold staff positions.
In a statement Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told the Post that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but did not clarify further.
The message shocked members of the U.S. military, who could not recall another instance in which a defense secretary summoned so many commanders for a sudden in-person meeting—especially without a clear rationale. Some warned that having so many integral military leaders in one place could pose a national security risk.
“People are very concerned. They have no idea what it means,” one source told the Post.
Another military source expressed frustration that commanders stationed overseas would also be required to attend: It’s “not how this is done,” they said. “You don’t call [general and flag officers] leading their people and the global force into an auditorium outside D.C. and not tell them why/what the topic or agenda is.”
“Are we taking every general and flag officer out of the Pacific right now?” a third U.S. official told the Post. “All of it is weird.”
