Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is considering bringing hundreds of senior military leaders back to Marine Corps Base Quantico for another address later this year, according to U.S. officials.

Hegseth held a similar meeting there last September, when he summoned generals and admirals on short notice to outline his priorities for the force. The event focused heavily on warfighting, physical and grooming standards, and reversing diversity and inclusion policies from the previous administration.

Officials say a second Quantico meeting would likely be used to outline additional priorities and issue new directives, although the date and exact attendance have not been determined. The Pentagon says it has nothing to announce at this time.

It also remains unclear whether President Trump would attend, as he did last year.

The potential meeting comes as Hegseth continues efforts to reshape military policies around physical standards, appearance and what he describes as a renewed focus on warfighting. Critics have argued that the administration’s emphasis on these issues risks diverting attention from broader readiness and modernization challenges.
