Notes: Reflected on official websites (dod.defense.gov) and military news outlets.

Agent rationale

This is a major symbolic and structural shift directly ordered by the Trump administration to signal a more aggressive and traditional military posture.

Elimination of Climate Change Policies

The Department of Defense announced it would 'flush climate change policies' to refocus resources on warfighting lethality and readiness.
