Pete Hegseth directs civilian employees of DOD to respond to 5-point email demand.

Published | Video Starts at 01:38

Just to pause now, as we said, following a review of Pentagon procedures in consultation with the Office of Personal Management, because we do we work on topics of national security, of sensitivity of classification, we needed to be careful on that front. I am now directing each member of the department's civilian workforce, just civilian, to provide those five bullets on what they accomplished in their specific jobs last week to reply to that email and CC their immediate supervisors. It's a simple task really. As Elon said, as the President recognized in our first cabinet meeting, just a pulse check. Are you there? Out to DOD civilians. Now. (01:38–01:55)
