NSC ideological screen of general and flag officer promotions
Mandate directs the NSC to rigorously review all general and flag officer promotions to prioritize warfighting over climate change, CRT, ‘manufactured extremism,’ and other polarizing policies.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 2 (Executive Office of the President) — NSC: rigorously review all general and flag officer promotions to prioritize core military roles over social engineering and non-defense matters including climate change, critical race theory, manufactured extremism, and other polarizing policies that weaken the armed forces.
Undo plan
1) End White House political litmus tests on promotions beyond statutory advice-and-consent and fitness-for-command criteria.
2) Restore service/DoD promotion board primacy with civilian control focused on competence, lawfulness, and readiness—not culture-war checklists.
3) Prohibit adverse action for officers’ lawful professional engagement with climate resilience, extremism prevention, or equal-opportunity compliance required by statute.
4) Seek Senate Armed Services oversight of politicized promotion holds.
5) Verify: promotion statistics and hold rationales audited for viewpoint discrimination.
