The Pentagon's Anomalous Health Incidents team has been moved from Policy to Research & Engineering, signaling a shift from investigation to developing remedies. A Navy SEAL physician now serves as military assistant, and the 2024 intelligence conclusions are under review.

"This realignment to a technically-grounded organization restores rigorous discipline and accelerates the integration of research into tangible medical treatments and countermeasures."

— Pentagon official, DefenseScoop

"The health of our warfighters and civilians is a top priority for the department, and this realignment strengthens our unwavering commitment."
