Following a DOD “stand down” order for all branches to hold a one-day training to address extremism, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin announced in April that the DOD would commission a study on the scope of internal extremism and would establish a working group to implement recommendations. Austin also said the DOD will update its definition of extremism among military personnel.
But when FRONTLINE asked what a new definition was intended to do, the DOD did not address the question. Nor did the DOD address whether it was considering changes to the UCMJ. Currently there is no public timeline for when the definition will be updated.
