Pete Hegseth Travels to Dayton for ‘Arsenal of Freedom’ Tour

On Tuesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth traveled to the Dayton, Ohio, area for a stop on the “Arsenal of Freedom” tour, addressing the workforce at Sierra Nevada Corp.

“We’ve gone around the country in this ‘Arsenal of Freedom’ tour, meeting with great companies and innovators and sending the signal to our great companies and innovators that when they are unleashed, they’re allowed to run fast—the Department of War is open for business,” Hegseth declared. “Not for show, not for peacetime, but with urgency and for victory, a lasting victory, one that will secure the freedom that we so cherish for generations to come.”

The secretary notably called out Washington, drawing a strong contrast with the work of President Donald Trump’s administration and the Sierra Nevada Corp. workforce.

“Washington, D.C., the folks that operate there, the lobbyists, political types, they don’t understand what you do. They couldn’t do a day in your shoes,” Hegseth said. “They don’t know what it means to build what you build.”
