President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with America’s senior military leaders in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, according to a U.S. official. The session marks a rare occasion where the nation’s top generals and admirals will gather in one place.
The White House has not issued a formal statement, but The Washington Post first revealed the plans, citing an internal scheduling document.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to lead discussions during the one-hour meeting. According to officials, Hegseth will emphasize the importance of maintaining a strong “warrior ethos” across the armed forces—a theme he frequently highlights in public remarks. He may also address other defense priorities during the session.
The U.S. military currently has personnel deployed across the globe, including strategic positions in South Korea, Japan, and throughout the Middle East. These forces are overseen by high-ranking commanders ranging from two- to four-star officers.
Since taking office, Hegseth—a former Fox News host—has acted quickly to reshape the Pentagon. He has dismissed several senior officers while advancing Trump’s national security agenda and rolling back diversity programs he has criticized as discriminatory.
