Hegseth directs DOD civilian workforce to comply with Musk’s DOGE productivity email
Fox News
DOD Secretary Pete Hegseth directed civilian staffers to send five bullet points of accomplishments in response to DOGE's request, which was a different stance from last week.
"Our civilian patriots who dedicate themselves to defending this nation working for the Department of Defense are critical to our national security," Hegseth said. "As we work to restore focus on DOD's core warfighting mission under President Trump's leadership, we recognize that we cannot accomplish that mission without the strong and important contributions of our civilian workforce."

Musk, who's heading up DOGE, shared Hegseth's video on X, writing, "Much appreciated @SecDef Hegseth!" He also included a saluting emoji and an American flag emoji. Story tips and ideas can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
