2:17Now PlayingWar Secretary Pete Hegseth is moving to crack down on what officials describe as long-standing waste and abuse among Pentagon contractors, targeting practices where companies allegedly charge taxpayers multiple times for the same work. In a new statement, Hegseth said the era of military contractors “enriching themselves on the backs of American taxpayers” is coming to an end as the administration pushes for greater accountability and efficiency in defense spending.
Officials say the initiative is part of a broader effort to reform military procurement under President Trump, emphasizing speed, reduced costs, and improved delivery timelines. Pentagon leaders also highlighted recent cost-saving measures and modernization efforts, including workforce restructuring and new construction technologies like 3D printing, which they say are already cutting costs and accelerating military infrastructure projects.
