() In a speech to top military leadership on Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth emphasized new physical fitness and grooming standards for service members.

Hegseth said all military members will be required to take a physical fitness test and meet height and weight requirements twice a year.

In a memorandum obtained by from a source familiar with the issue, Hegseth said all service members must pass a standard service fitness test as one of the two assessments. The other assessment will be a combat field test for those in combat roles, or a combat readiness test for those in non-combat jobs.

The height, weight and weight circumference standards are set to be published within 60 days, according to the memorandum.

Speaking to a gathering of hundreds of military leaders Tuesday at a Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, Hegseth issued a rebuke to those before him.

“Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops,” Hegseth said. “Likewise, it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon leading commands around the country and the world.”

Generals and admirals, like other service members, are required to meet military fitness standards, though the scores for tests are age-normed to reflect the changes that come with growing older.

It is not clear whether the standards for those in leadership, who are much older than the average service member, will change or how they might be adjusted.

Hegeseth’s memo also stated that performance scores must now be included in service records, rather than a pass/fail designation, and the records will be regularly evaluated to ensure compliance.

Service members who don’t meet the standards will be placed in a remedial program and could face administrative separation if improvement is not made.

Hegseth also announced that all combat roles would return to male fitness standards, something he said was not designed to keep women out of combat, although that could be the end result.

“If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is,” he said. “If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent. But it could be the result. So be it.”
