Rejecting reports of a split with the brass, the Department of War says the National Defense Strategy<\/a> was “seamlessly coordinated” with senior civilian and uniform leaders \u2014 and that “any narrative to the contrary is false.”<\/p>\n

On Monday, The Washington Post reported<\/a> that multiple senior officers had raised concerns about the forthcoming strategy, pointing to a divide between political leadership.<\/p>\n

Deputy Secretary of War Steve Feinberg<\/a> pushed back on Wednesday, in an on-the-record statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“The Department\u2019s National Defense Strategy has been seamlessly coordinated with all senior civilian and military leadership with total collaboration \u2014 any narrative to the contrary is false,” Feinberg said.<\/p>\n

A senior War Department<\/a> official said the strategy was the product of “extensive and intensive” collaboration across the department.<\/p>\n

The drafting team included a policy lead, a Joint Staff deputy<\/a> and representatives from the military services who consulted widely with civilian and uniformed offices.<\/p>\n

Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby and the acting deputy under-secretary for policy, Austin Dahmer, met with leaders from every group. The official called that level of policy-shop engagement “unprecedented.”<\/p>\n

Air Force Gen. Dan Caine<\/a>, who chairs the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provided feedback directly to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth<\/a> and Colby, the official said, and both assured him his input would be reflected in the final draft.<\/p>\n

The Post report said political appointees in the Pentagon policy office led the drafting and described unusually sharp pushback from some commanders over priorities and tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The War Department disputes that characterization and says the document was coordinated at the principal level and aligned closely with the National Security Strategy.<\/p>\n

The pushback comes a day after Hegseth addressed hundreds of commanders at Marine Corps Base Quantico.<\/p>\n

In a 45-minute speech, he argued the force needs tougher standards and a tighter focus on warfighting. He has recalled one-star and above officers from around the world to brief in person and has removed several senior general officers as part of a broader overhaul.<\/p>\n

Hegseth says new directives will restore rigorous physical, grooming and leadership standards and require combat roles to meet one set of physical benchmarks.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
