The Pentagon is taking steps to address low testosterone levels in service members. Military doctors will test for the condition and offer replacement therapy when recommended. This move expands access to a class of hormone treatment that was previously deemed too expensive for transgender troops by the Trump administration.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the initiative, framing it as a way to support military readiness and long-term health. The program aims to provide service members with high-quality medical care. Further details on the initiative are available from The Advocate, which originally reported on the story.
