# Department of War Overhauls Officer Education

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered an immediate overhaul of senior and intermediate professional military education, covering curricula, student assessments, faculty requirements, and officer-selection rules. The changes could create future demand for curriculum and wargame development, assessment tools, and AI-related education, but the signal identifies no solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact.

- The Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness, and the Senior Service College Task Force are relevant government stakeholders in the reform effort.
- Firms offering curriculum design, wargame development, assessment systems, or AI education may find potential opportunities as implementation plans are developed; no current procurement action is identified.
- Companies can use the stated reform areas to assess whether their capabilities align with future education needs and follow the implementation plans and reporting milestones identified in the signal.
