On Friday, May 23, 2025, Hegseth issued new rules that limit journalists' access within the Pentagon, requiring reporters to have "official approval and escort" to enter the hallway where his office is located. The Pentagon described these measures as "updated security measures" needed to reduce opportunities for "inadvertent and unauthorized disclosures." Pentagon press corps members will also be issued new access badges with clearer "PRESS" identifiers in the coming weeks.
These restrictions come amid ongoing scrutiny regarding Hegseth's use of the Signal messaging app. In late March, it was revealed that Hegseth and other Trump administration officials had discussed sensitive military operations, including planned strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels, on the unsecured commercial app. This security lapse became public when a journalist was inadvertently added to the group chat. The Defense Department inspector general's office is currently reviewing Hegseth's use of the app.
In a move to address issues with military relocations, Hegseth ordered immediate changes to the household goods moving system on May 20. Citing "recent deficiencies" in the performance of the Global Household Goods Contract, he increased the reimbursement rate for service members who move their own belongings to 130% of what the government would have paid under the contract. In a video posted on X, Hegseth acknowledged that the current system is "a mess" and promised "decisive action immediately" in response to concerns about contractor performance.
Hegseth is scheduled to attend the Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's largest defense conference, where he will deliver a speech on the Pentagon's approach to the region under the second Trump administration. Unlike his predecessor Lloyd Austin, Hegseth is not expected to meet with his Chinese counterpart during the conference, as Beijing is likely downgrading its participation by sending a lower-level official instead of its defense minister.
Earlier this month, Hegseth directed sweeping transformational changes to the Army's structure in an April 30 memo, ordering alterations aimed at building a "leaner and more lethal force" with priorities on homeland defense and deterring China in the Indo-Pacific. The changes include consolidating headquarters elements and modifying contracting processes.
Hegseth's leadership has faced challenges, with former Pentagon spokesperson John Ullyot suggesting in April that his days as Defense Secretary might be numbered following what was described as a "chaotic month" at the Pentagon, including internal turmoil and mass firings.
