Air Force restores use of Tuskegee Airmen training videos as Hegseth starts first day

The Air Force says it has restored the use of training material referring to the storied Tuskegee Airmen after a temporary delay to edit its courses to meet the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The statement clarified an issue roiling as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth began his first day at the Pentagon on Monday. Hegseth said in an online post Sunday any move to cut the training was “immediately reversed.” But the swirl of confusion reflects the ongoing struggle as leaders across the Defense Department try to purge diversity mentions from their websites and training.
