The Pentagon has announced a 10-day pause on nearly all official social media activity that does not pertain to the border. This decision is part of an effort to refocus communications for the Department of Defense (DoD) around core missions such as Keeping America Safe, fielding a lethal force, and winning wars.
The memo signed by the chief of staff to the secretary of defense states that the suspension does not apply to social media communication related to DoD's current operations defending the southern border, which is considered a top priority for the Department.
