The Battle for Control of America's Military | Restore the Military Podcast (Ep. 5)

This is the Restore the Military Podcast, a brand-new show by Restoration of America featuring ROA founder Doug Truax and senior fellow Will Thibeau
In this episode of Restore the Military, Doug Truax and Will Thibeau break down the FY 2027 NDAA provision that would cap Joint Staff personnel at 1,500, eliminate mandatory joint duty as a promotion requirement, return general and flag officer selection to the Service Secretaries, and stand up a bipartisan commission to conduct the first full review of Goldwater-Nichols in nearly four decades.
