Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced groundbreaking changes at the Pentagon after working with DOGE to identify wasteful programs. Although the exact amount under the chopping block remains unclear, it is well above ten billion. DOGE said it had identified $5 billion of wasteful spending at the DOD, in addition to another $5 billion previously identified.
Hegseth explained that the Pentagon collaborated with DOGE in auditing over 50 contract vehicles, resulting in approximately $1 billion in savings. The audit also canceled $3.8 billion in the program’s extension, collectively saving approximately $5 billion.
