US Military to Screen Troops for Testosterone | Pentagon's New Policy Explained | FP Video
The US military is introducing testosterone screening as part of annual health checks for service members, marking a significant change in Pentagon health policy. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that troops aged 30 and above will be routinely screened for low testosterone levels, while younger personnel can opt in voluntarily. Those diagnosed with hormone deficiency will be offered voluntary testosterone replacement therapy, with officials saying the initiative is aimed at improving long-term health and ensuring military readiness—not enhancing performance. The announcement comes amid a broader push by the Trump administration to expand access to testosterone treatments. The policy has sparked debate over whether the move is primarily about protecting troops' health or strengthening America's fighting force.TIME STAMPS:
