Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin launched a discussion about extremism in the US military Wednesday, as the Pentagon reels from the revelation that several troops and veterans participated in the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Austin, who is the first Black person to serve as Pentagon chief, has given all units 60 days to hold a day of talks on extremism, his spokesperson John Kirby said.
Over the past decade, several successive US administrations have acted slowly, if at all, on FBI and Department of Homeland Security warnings of white supremacists joining the police and military.
The Pentagon has never published figures on how many extremists it has booted from service.
The storming of the Capitol building was a "wake-up call," Kirby said, adding the Pentagon does not yet understand the scale of the problem that "we haven't solved."
