Hegseth’s wife to head commission helping military spouses and families

President Trump signed an executive order on Monday to form a new commission focused on improving the lives of military spouses and families and addressing the challenges they encounter. 

The new commission, called the President’s Military Spouse Commission, will be chaired by Jennifer Rauchet, the wife of the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. It will advise the commander in chief on challenges faced by military spouses, including healthcare, employment, childcare, education and others. 

“America cannot have the strongest military in the world without the love and devotion of our remarkable military spouses, who make the extraordinary sacrifices for our country,” Trump said in the Oval Office, with Hegseth and the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, in attendance.
