Trump’s order comes on the heels of his first executive orders signed last week, which already sent the military services scrambling to remove anything they deemed would be related to diversity efforts.

President Donald Trump footstomped his agenda to remove all diversity efforts within the ranks on Monday evening by issuing an executive order directly related to the military, a move that comes as the services are working to comply with similar actions issued on his first day in office.
The executive order titled “Restoring America’s Fighting Force” aims to “abolish every [diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI] office within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security,” meaning it would apply to all the uniformed services — including the Coast Guard.
