U.S. Navy Restricts Release of Sailors' Service History Citing Security Concerns
The U.S. Navy has announced a new policy restricting the release of sailors' service history information, citing increased security threats and harassment concerns. This move limits press access to details such as unit assignments and awards, which have traditionally been available. The policy, driven by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, aligns with broader restrictions on press access at the Pentagon. Critics argue that this policy could hinder reporting on military personnel involved in significant news events and is inconsistent with federal laws and Pentagon policies that advocate for transparency.
