Prior to Trump’s first presidency it was estimated that there were 14,000 transgender personnel in the US armed forces.

Alongside the orders relating to transgender staff, the President also ordered that all military personnel who had been dismissed for failing to take COVID vaccinations be reinstated with back pay.

The President also ordered the development of an ‘iron dome’ missile protection system in the USA. The Executive Order directs implementation of a next generation missile defense shield for the United States against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next generation aerial attacks, according to paperwork cited by CNN.
