  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of U.S. military leaders to gather at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, including all military leaders ranked brigadier general or above worldwide.
  • The meeting's purpose remains unclear, leading to speculation about potential changes in military leadership or strategy amid ongoing restructuring under the Trump administration.
  • Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed the meeting but provided no details, raising concerns due to its unusual nature and the gathering of many high-ranking officers at once.
  • The meeting is set for Tuesday and has raised concerns due to its timing amid potential military personnel pay disruptions due to a looming government shutdown.
