Officials are drafting a proposal to defund and potentially “disestablish” the
Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, though Congress would have to approve doing so.

The Trump administration is moving to abolish a Pentagon office responsible for promoting civilian safety in battlefield operations, suggesting that incoming Defense Department leaders may attempt to loosen restrictions on U.S. military operations worldwide.
In the days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, his transition team provided Pentagon officials with a set of orders outlining early priorities for his second term, including a desire to review and potentially abolish the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, said a U.S. defense official. The office, housed within the Department of the Army, is tasked with helping the military to
limit unintended civilian deaths.
As a result of that order, the Army has begun drafting a proposal to defund and potentially “disestablish” the office, according to five people familiar with
the discussions and an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post. All spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the nascent plan.
