Description of the video
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced that the Department of Defense is actively working to reinstate over 8,700 U.S. service members who were discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine during the previous administration’s mandate. This initiative follows an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on January 27, 2025, which deemed the prior mandate “unfair, overbroad, and completely unnecessary.”
During a recent address at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Hegseth referred to these individuals as “warriors of conscience” and emphasized the department’s commitment to welcoming them back into service. He highlighted that the Personnel and Readiness Department is working diligently to streamline the reinstatement process.
The reinstatement plan includes offering former service members their previous rank and full back pay, along with benefits and compensation. Additionally, the Department of Defense is reaching out through various channels, including letters, emails, phone calls, and social media, to inform affected individuals about their opportunity to return to service.
