US troops forced to live with bad living conditions from 'decades of buildup'

In his first month on the job, Dakota Meyer, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s senior adviser on the barracks task force, has relocated service members from their assigned housing due to unattended, unlivable conditions across multiple installations.

Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient who was assigned to represent the secretary on the task force on Oct. 19, has traveled to seven military installations since then, expects to hit about 30 by the end of the year, and intends to visit overseas bases early next year.
