国防部长Pete Hegseth规定了新的规则,要求五角大楼所有人员,包括高级军事领导人,在与国会沟通之前,必须获得中央立法事务办公室的批准。 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has imposed new rules requiring all Pentagon personnel, including top military leaders, to get approval from a central legislative affairs office before communicating with Congress. 这项改革于10月15日生效,目的是使信息传递标准化,使通信与部门优先事项保持一致,取代以往由各处自行管理外联工作的系统。 The change, effective October 15, aims to standardize messaging and align communications with departmental priorities, replacing a previous system where individual branches managed their own outreach. 这一举动恰逢大多数五角大楼记者在受到新的媒体限制后离开,并引起立法者对重要信息共享可能延误的关切。 The move coincides with the departure of most Pentagon reporters after new media restrictions and has raised concerns among lawmakers about potential delays in critical information sharing. 五角大楼官员将这一转变描述为提高准确性和透明度的“实际步骤”,同时成立了一个工作组来澄清新指南。 Pentagon officials describe the shift as a "pragmatic step" to improve accuracy and transparency, while a working group has been formed to clarify the new guidance.
