Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth participated in an early morning PT session hosted by troops from the 1st Battalion 10th Special Forces Group on Tuesday at Panzer Kaserne, Stuttgart, Germany.

“No bureacracy — just sharp minds, strong bodies and a mission-first mindset,” said Hegseth in an X post.

Later that day, Hegseth met with U.S. Africa Command and the U.S. European Command headquarters as part of his first overseas trip in office.
