US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, affirmed that the United States' primary mission involves deterring conflicts, engaging in them, defeating adversaries, and ultimately destroying them, emphasizing that his country "fights for victory." In the context of enhancing military capabilities, Hegseth noted that American developers are innovating unmanned vessels, autonomous systems, drones, and hypersonic missiles, stating these would redefine the modern concept of deterrence. He clarified that the United States' doctrine is clear: "America First and Peace Through Strength." He added that his nation seeks to achieve this doctrine by rebuilding its military and solidifying deterrence both domestically and globally.
