US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Summons Over 800 Military Generals to Mysterious Meeting

International News: American Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has suddenly called a mysterious meeting, calling more than 800 senior generals of the Navy, Air Force and Army to join. According to the NBC News report, preparations for this meeting were going on for the last several days, but it was held so soon that the authorities had to work hard for flight booking and other preparations.

Mystery behind the meeting

According to sources in NBC News, it is rare to call such a large number of senior officials to Washington. The notice sent to the officers only mentioned the date and location, but no information was given about the purpose of the meeting. Pentagon and Capital Hill also intensified speculation and apprehensions in military and political circles due to lack of knowledge of the agenda. Some reports are said that the meeting may be related to possible action on Venezuela.

Possibility of attack on Venezuela

Some reports claimed that American military officials are preparing options to target drug traffickers targets inside Venezuela. The NBC News, citing four unknown sources, stated that US President Donald Trump has not yet approved any action, and is interacting through the US and Venezuela mediators. The real agenda of the meeting is not yet clear, but suspense remains whether it has been called to attack Venezuela.

Meeting place and security arrangements

The meeting will be held at the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, which is about 30 miles from Washington. Under normal circumstances, the Defense Minister talks to his senior officers through small meetings or virtual conference. But this time more than 3,000 people including 800 generals and their associate staff, communication team and security personnel will be involved. This sudden big meeting has also raised questions on logistics, security and operation.

Possibility of discussing national defense strategy

Many speculations are being made about the possible agenda of the meeting. Apart from action on Venezuela, National Defense Strategy is also likely to be discussed. It can be considered prioritizing Homeland Defense instead of China, Russia, Iran and terrorism.

Dissatisfaction & fear among military officers

In recent times, Defense Secretary Hegseth removed several senior officers, especially women and black officers from the post and discussed a 20% reduction plan in top posts. This has increased fear and dissatisfaction among military officers that Quantico meeting may announce a large -scale trimming or organizational change. Hegseth has already promoted "Warrier Ethos" by abolishing the Dei (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) program. The meeting is causing serious suspense in the US military and diplomatic world and remains to be seen what the real purpose of this mysterious meeting is.
