US issues rules to stop rise of extremism within its military, nearly a year after some current and former service members participated in January 6 Capitol insurrection
Pentagon stops short of prohibiting military membership in any group, from the Proud Boys to the Oath Keepers and the Ku Klux Klan.
Following the riot, the Biden administration, which took office on January 20, spent much of the year working to clarify its definition of extremism and what kinds of military participation in an extremist activity to explicitly prohibit, unveiling the results on Monday. US defence officials said, however, that the restrictions announced on Monday meant that meaningful, active participation in any such group would be impossible.
The Pentagon's announcement came just weeks after the Pentagon's Inspector General cited 294 allegations of extremist activity by US service members, including 10 allegations of trespassing at the US Capitol on January 6 and 102 allegations of participation in domestic extremist violence.
