The Pentagon will begin annually testing the military for testosterone

The Pentagon will begin testing military personnel for testosterone deficiency, said the head of the US military Pete Hegseth. This was reported by Bloomberg on July 16.

Hegseth said that the new survey of military personnel aged 30 and older will provide them with "the necessary testosterone levels to achieve maximum effectiveness."

According to Hegseth, the new screening procedure will be added to the annual medical examination of military personnel over the age of 30, and younger military personnel will also be able to undergo an examination at their own request. In case of insufficient hormone levels, men will be prescribed hormone therapy to increase testosterone.

On January 13, Hegseth announced that "dudes in dresses" would no longer interfere with the American army. According to Hegseth, the U.S. Army needs to get rid of trash and distractions. He proclaimed the rejection of the policy of "inclusivity, equality and diversity" in the ranks of the American army.

On June 1, Sean Parnell, the United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Secretary of the Pentagon, rejected accusations of gender bias in military promotions, saying that employees with the necessary qualifications receive promotions at the US Department of War. According to Parnell, promotion decisions will never be made based on a serviceman's skin color or gender.
