The Department of Defense has ordered the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content from Air Force websites, erasing stories, photos, and articles that once highlighted service members’ cultural backgrounds and achievements. At Malmstrom Air Force Base, deleted posts included events celebrating heritage months and the story of an Indigenous airman’s religious exemption. The directive, part of a broader Trump administration policy shift, also led to the disbanding of Malmstrom’s DEI council. Officials say the focus is now on military readiness, but critics see it as erasing history.
Note: Malmstrom Air Force Base is located in Great Falls, Montana. Get the full story from Matt Hudson writing for the Montana Free Press.
