Review every general and flag officer promotion at the White House
What the document says“The NSC should rigorously review all general and flag officer promotions to prioritize the core roles and responsibilities of the military over social engineering and non-defense matters”
The chapter says the National Security Council should rigorously review all general and flag officer promotions, in order to prioritize the military's core roles over what it calls social engineering and non-defense matters, listing climate change, critical race theory and manufactured extremism among the policies it says weaken the armed forces.
What the document actually says“The NSC should rigorously review all general and flag officer promotions to prioritize the core roles and responsibilities of the military over social engineering and non-defense matters”
The council should check every top officer picked to lead. Fighting should count first, not other aims.
The military picks its own top officers. The book says the White House should check each choice. It wants officers judged on fighting ability. It names climate change and race training as things to weigh against.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Executive Order 14356 requires each agency to set up a Strategic Hiring Committee to approve every vacancy and to file annual staffing plans, which is a form of central review of who is appointed, but section 3 exempts military personnel of the Armed Forces outright. No candidate gives the National Security Council or any other White House body a role in reviewing general and flag officer promotions. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
