The rally represents a major logistical and security feat, concentrating almost all the best American military leaders in one place. Trump attendance increases the challenges more, carrying out the secret services in charge of security.

Hundreds of generals, admirals and their senior enlisted leaders – classified a star and more – were ordered last week to attend the meeting with the war secretary Pete Hegseth. The invitation did not offer any indicated reason, feeding the speculation that it could announce mass cuts compatible with HegSeth thrust to reduce the body of general officers.

Senator Tammy Duckworth, D-ill., Wrote to the Pentagon to seek details on the cost of the flight in the officers at this short period and if virtual alternatives have been taken into account. About 800 general officers and flags are stationed worldwide, and with their enlisted advisers and aid, the decreasing number on Quantico could exceed 1,000, according to Duckworth.

Hegseth has committed to reducing the body of general officers by 20% and has already rejected around two dozen senior officers. The reports also suggest that he intends to use the meeting to underline his “warrior ethics”, which, according to the sources of defense, could be a means of reminding commanders their duty to remain apolitical and to reaffirm his personal authority on force.

Last week, Trump signed a decree leading the police and the military to counter “domestic terrorism and organized political violence”. On Sunday, in the direction of Trump, Hegseth informed the Warrant Officer of the Oregon National Guard that 200 soldiers would be deployed for 60 days to protect those responsible for the application of immigration faced with demonstrations.
