Sept. 25 (UPI) -- War Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned the nation's military leaders from around the world to meet at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., for an unspecified reason on Tuesday.
The number of generals and admirals called to the meeting is the most summoned for a meeting in many years, according to The New York Times.
Other media outlets reporting the meeting include The Hill and CNN, which said hundreds of military leaders are expected to attend the high-level meeting.
"The secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week," War Department spokesman Sean Parnell told The Hill in a prepared statement.
