Statement by New Acting Secretary of the Army, Adam Telle

Posted on X:

I am honored to have been selected by President Trump to serve as Acting Secretary of the Army under the historic leadership of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

I am blessed to have grown up in a small town in the United States of America, living the realization of the promise of America, the Greatest Nation in the history of the world.

Patriots throughout our nation, from sea to shining sea, enjoy that same precious freedom every day, a miracle that today is too often forgotten.

That blessing has been enabled immeasurably by the U.S. Army, which literally built our nation and continues to guarantee those freedoms each passing moment.

The U.S. Military is the most powerful, capable, and dynamic entity humanity has ever devised.

The Army is its foundational branch, a hardened fighting force that has crushed America’s enemies and secured our freedom for 251 years and counting.

Americans everywhere are putting their trust in the Army to again meet a pivotal moment in history, and I am grateful that President Trump and Secretary Hegseth understand exactly how high the stakes are.

To this challenge, I bring my love for our country, deep respect for our service members and their families, and my proven experience rejuvenating a massive, complicated part of the Army.

Working closely with the Department of War, the Trump Administration, and Congress, we will deliver a more ready and capable Army.

My previous work in the Army focused on moving at Trump Speed to deliver on one of the Army’s original missions. I will apply that same relentless focus on efficiency to how the Army mans, trains, equips, and modernizes.

It is now my job to make sure we never send our troops into a fair fight. We will equip them with every cutting-edge advantage needed to completely dominate our enemies and return home safely.

God bless our Soldiers. God bless the U.S. Army. And God bless America!

Hon. Adam Telle, Acting Secretary of the Army

Telle previously served as the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.
