美国国防部长皮特·黑格斯塞特周三在弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科军事基地向军队发表演讲时，宣布成立新的五角大楼自主作战指挥机构。这是他去年向高级军官发表演讲的延续，那次演讲的主题是体能与文化。
黑格斯塞特表示，新成立的自主作战指挥机构将专注于人工智能机器人技术和自主武器系统，将由一名四星上将领导，这表明该机构将在未来军事行动中扮演关键角色。
“自主与机器人革命对装备、作战理论、编制以及统治战场数十年的作战假设都将产生深远影响，”黑格斯塞特说，“持久的变革必须植根于军事指挥结构之中。”
这位五角大楼负责人援引俄乌战争的经验教训作为成立新指挥机构的动因，并表示一项名为“阿金库尔计划”的配套行动将为新指挥机构扫清障碍，并全面改革军方采购、测试和部署无人机及其他同类武器的方式。
五角大楼发布的一份备忘录显示，新指挥机构计划于2027年10月正式启动。
此次演讲中，黑格斯塞特还再次重申了他此前对军队文化的多项批评，并表示他已下令进一步削减高级军官人数，以持续清除“觉醒”政策。
他将将将军和将官职位的裁减目标比例提高了一倍，达到20%，而他在2025年5月的一份备忘录中指示的将官裁减比例为10%。
黑格斯塞特已在全军范围内解雇了二十多名高级军官——其中许多人几乎没有得到任何解释，这令两党议员都感到沮丧。各军种也减少了可用的四星军官职位，迫使一些高级军官退役。

对解雇行动的不满是前陆军部长丹·德里斯科尔辞职的部分原因。美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）此前曾报道称，德里斯科尔在辞职信中“就军队转型和战备问题向政府表达了担忧，尤其是黑格斯塞特通过解雇负责相关工作的将军来阻挠这些努力”。
演讲的部分与会者包括特斯拉和太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）首席执行官埃隆·马斯克、前众议院议长纽特·金里奇，以及国防科技公司安杜里尔的创始人兼负责人帕尔默·拉基。黑格斯塞特宣布，这三人将担任一个名为“子午线计划”的新未来战争研究小组的主席。
黑格斯塞特在演讲中还提出了另一系列举措，旨在实现美国军事基地的现代化，使其拥有独立电网，增强国防供应链的韧性，建立燃料和药品等关键商品的储备，并邀请各州州长就五角大楼应在何处新建一座可容纳最多2.5万名士兵的中型军事基地提出“方案”。
此次演讲恰逢他2025年9月30日在匡蒂科向军队众多将军和将官发表演讲的周年纪念日。在那次演讲中，黑格斯塞特抨击了他所谓的“觉醒部门”，描述了他心目中理想的军队形象（没有“肥胖士兵”或“邋遢男”）和行为准则。他表示，特朗普政府将“剔除五角大楼的政治化”，而“唯一的使命”将是“作战、备战并赢得战争”。
黑格斯塞特在周三的演讲中重申了许多类似的批评，同时在概述他继续重塑军队的努力时，使用了针对变性军人的歧视性 slur。
“我们不再是觉醒部门或软弱部门，”他说，“简单翻译一下：没有胖子、没有跨性别者、没有邋遢男、没有怪人、没有懦夫、没有激进分子，只有战士，只有坚韧、随时待命、忠诚可靠的士兵。”
今年的参会人员有所不同。黑格斯塞特的办公室邀请了约600名初级军官和士官——这些执行军队日常工作的基层指挥官——作为周三活动的主要受众。
在周三的演讲中，他抨击了媒体对美国军事行动的报道，将其比作“叛国”，同时也承认“自由媒体”“很重要”。
当黑格斯塞特列举他对媒体、前国防部领导层、所谓的“觉醒”军事领导人以及常春藤盟校的常见不满时，这些年轻军官大多沉默不语，面无表情。这群人来自美军所有军种。
现场观众有两次较为明显的反应时刻：一次是黑格斯塞特模仿美国总统唐纳德·特朗普，称军队需要的是“标准模板式”的人才；另一次是全场为负责重振美国国防工业基础宏大计划的国防部副部长史蒂夫·芬伯格鼓掌。
黑格斯塞特的演讲延续了他在五角大楼任职期间一贯的基督教宗教叙事。这位国防部长引用了圣经经文，并详细介绍了针对军队牧师队伍的新改革方案，旨在提升牧师在五角大楼官僚体系中的地位。
“关于信仰和宗教的决定过去都是由隔间里的世俗官僚和拿着繁文缛节四处奔走的律师做出的，”他说道。
这位国防部长还援引五角大楼内部数据称，95%的美军“承认有一位全能的上帝”，似乎以此为他关注牧师队伍的举措提供支持。
新宣布的举措之一“美国学员军团”，任命希尔斯代尔学院和自由大学为新的“杰出军事学院”，将获得五角大楼资源以训练新军官。除这两所倾向保守的基督教学院外，该计划还包括路易斯安那州立大学、密西西比州立大学以及历史上的黑人院校塔斯基吉大学。
黑格斯塞特周三发表演讲的当天，美军恰好完成了从伊拉克的撤军行动。此举标志着美国2014年启动的打击ISIS的伊拉克战事落下帷幕，当时该恐怖组织席卷该地区，占领了伊拉克和叙利亚的多个主要城市。

Hegseth announces new autonomous weapons command while repeating attacks on ‘woke’ culture during speech to troops
2026-09-30T20:29:14.072Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/30/politics/hegseth-speaks-to-military
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced a new Pentagon autonomous warfare command in a speech on Wednesday to troops at the military base in Quantico, Virginia, a sequel to the speech he delivered last year to senior officers that focused on fitness and culture.
Hegseth said the new Autonomous Warfare Command, which will focus on AI robotics and autonomous weapons, will be led by a four-star general, a sign that it will have a key role in future military operations.
“The autonomous and robotic revolution has enormous implications for equipment, doctrine, organization, and the assumptions that have governed warfare for decades,” Hegseth said. “Lasting change must be anchored in military command structures.”
The Pentagon chief cited lessons learned from the war in Ukraine as motivation for the new command and said that a complementary effort known as Project Agincourt will work to clear the way for the new command and overhaul how the military acquires, tests, and fields drones and other similar weapons.
A memo released by the Pentagon said that the new command aims to go online in October 2027.
The speech also included Hegseth repeating a number of his past criticisms of military culture and saying that he had ordered further cuts to the ranks of senior officers to continue to remove “woke” policy.
He doubled the percentage target for cutting general and flag officer positions in the ranks to 20%, up from a 10% reduction of generals and admirals he had directed in a May 2025 memo.
Hegseth has fired more than two dozen senior officers across the military — many with little to no explanation, to the dismay of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. The military services have also reduced the number of available four-star jobs, forcing some senior officers to leave the military.

Frustration over the firings was in part responsible for the resignation of former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. CNN previously reported that Driscoll “brought up concerns with the administration surrounding Army transformation and readiness and Hegseth’s blocking those efforts specifically by firing the generals who were responsible,” in his resignation.
Some of the speech’s attendees included Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Palmer Luckey, founder and head of defense tech company Anduril. Hegseth announced that the three will chair a new future of warfare study group known as Project Meridian.
Another set of initiatives laid out in Hegseth’s speech aim to modernize US bases and get them onto their own power grids, boost the resilience of defense supply chains, build reserves of key commodities like fuel and medicine, and solicit “pitches” from governors on where the Pentagon should build a new mid-sized military base to house up to 25,000 troops.
The address comes on the anniversary of his September 30, 2025, speech at Quantico to many of the military’s generals and admirals. In that speech, Hegseth railed against what he described as “the woke department,” describing his preferred vision for how the military will look (no “fat troops” or “beardos”) and act. He said the Trump administration would “rip out the politics” of the Pentagon and that the “only mission” would be “warfighting, preparing for war and preparing to win.”
Hegseth repeated many of those criticisms on Wednesday, while also using a slur to describe transgender service members as he outlined his continued efforts to reshape the force.
“We are no longer the woke department or the weak department,” he said. “Simple translation of that: No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals, just warriors, just tough, ready, committed troops.”
This year’s attendance list was different. Hegseth’s office invited around 600 junior officers and noncommissioned officers — lower-level leaders who carry out the day-to-day work of the military — to attend Wednesday’s event as his primary audience.
In Wednesday’s speech, he blasted the media’s coverage of US military operations, likening it to “treason” while also conceding that a “free press” is “important.”
As Hegseth listed his oft-aired grievances against the media, past Defense Department leadership, so-called “woke” military leaders and Ivy League universities – the young leaders largely sat silently and stone-faced. The group included personnel from all branches of the military.
The few moments of clearer reaction from the crowd came when Hegseth impersonated President Donald Trump, saying the kind of people needed in the military are those from “central casting,” and when the room applauded for Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, who is overseeing an ambitious effort to revive America’s defense industrial base.
Hegseth’s address leaned into the Christian religious messaging that has characterized much of his Pentagon stint. The secretary quoted Bible verses and detailed new reforms to the military chaplaincy intended to raise their profile within the Pentagon bureaucracy.
“Decisions about faith and religion were made by secular careerists in cubicles and lawyers running around with red tape,” he argued.
The defense secretary also cited internal Pentagon data to say that 95% of the military “recognizes an Almighty God,” in seeming supporting his focus on the chaplaincy.
One of the newly announced initiatives — “America’s Corps of Cadets” — tapped Hillsdale College and Liberty University as new “Distinguished Military Colleges” that will receive Pentagon resources to train new officers for the military. In addition to the two conservative-leaning Christian colleges, the initiative also includes Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University, and the historically Black Tuskegee University.
Hegseth’s Wednesday speech also comes on the day US troops completed their withdrawal from Iraq. The move marked the end to the Iraq chapter of the US mission that launched in 2014 to combat ISIS as the terrorist group swept across the region, capturing major cities in Iraq and Syria.
