Military Spent $1 Million Addressing Extremism, Diversity and Climate Change Last Year

The U.S. military spent $1 million and 5.8 million man hours last year on programs meant to root out extremism from the ranks, foster a diverse military and prepare for the national security challenges of climate change, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley said in a recent letter to Congress.

The letter, dated Jan. 6, was released Tuesday by Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee who had asked Milley in November for details on money and time spent on those three areas, which have been a focus of Pentagon policymakers since President Joe Biden was inaugurated.
