美國戰爭部長赫格塞斯在7月曾宣布將對年滿30歲的軍人實施睪固酮缺乏症篩檢的強制政策,旨在提升軍隊戰備能力。
(中央社華盛頓3日綜合外電報導)美國官員今天告訴路透社,五角大廈暫時撤回近期發布的臨床準則。這項準則涉及一項新的強制性政策,要求年滿30歲的軍人接受睪固酮缺乏症篩檢。
五角大廈昨天在官網公布名為「健康與人類表現最佳化臨床準則」(Clinical Guidance for Health and Human Performance Optimization)的文件。不過到了今天,這份備忘錄以及五角大廈發言人帕尼爾(Sean Parnell)的聲明都已從網站撤下。
這名官員說,「2026年9月2日發布的(文件)草案已暫時撤回,以便進行更新」,還表示目前的臨時準則仍然有效。
這份詳細的臨床準則原本針對男性與女性分別制定睪固酮缺乏症的篩檢流程,並計劃在軍人每年的健康檢查中進行。
這項準則原訂立即生效。五角大廈表示,政策目的是透過找出並處理荷爾蒙及能量供應不足等問題,以提升軍隊的戰備能力。
當點擊五角大廈及國防健康局(Defense Health Agency)網站上原本連結至這份備忘錄及相關聲明的網址時,頁面均顯示「找不到頁面」(Page Not Found)。
五角大廈昨天公布的準則指出,年滿30歲的男性將先接受問卷篩檢,如果問卷結果觸發進一步檢查,軍人將接受血液檢測,以測量睪固酮濃度,必要時接受睪固酮荷爾蒙治療。
女性同樣會先接受問卷篩檢,之後可能進一步接受與荷爾蒙失衡相關疾病的治療。
至於女性使用睪固酮,準則規定僅適用於已有證據證明療效的特定診斷,例如女性性慾低下症(Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder)。這種疾病的特徵是性慾降低到令人感到困擾的程度。
美國戰爭部長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)一直推廣睪固酮使用,7月時宣布這項篩檢強制政策,引發專家質疑這項政策是否具有足夠的科學依據。
美國食品暨藥物管理局(FDA)預計在9月中旬召開專家會議,討論睪固酮的醫療用途。

South Korea is considering deploying military assets, including a naval logistics support ship and maritime patrol aircraft, to the Strait of Hormuz at the United States' request, pending National Assembly approval.

The Taiwan Army originally planned to purchase 30 attack Black Hawk helicopters and modify the existing general-purpose aircraft, but the US military successfully air-launched the Anduril Altius-700M UAV with the UH-60M Black Hawk, demonstrating its asymmetric combat advantages outside the defense zone. In view of the high-density air defense threats in the Taiwan Strait, the universal Black Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle solution has a longer range, higher survivability and tactical flexibility, and the cost is lower than that of a dedicated attack aircraft. Taiwan has signed a contract to purchase 1,554 Altius-700M drones in August 2026. It is recommended that resources be invested in upgrading the current Black Hawk and developing air-launched drone tactics suitable for future operations.

The United States is evaluating Japan's Mogami-class frigates for potential purchase, which would mark the first time since World War II that a foreign warship design enters US Navy service, following a national security waiver invoked by the White House to bypass longstanding restrictions on foreign-built vessels.

The Executive Yuan passed an additional budget of more than 145.6962 billion yuan for the Ministry of National Defense for 2015, including 133.4 billion yuan in military investment, including 64.5 billion yuan for "two confidential projects". It is deduced that the most likely equipment systems and artificial intelligence assisted decision-making systems for joint research and development and procurement cooperation between Taiwan and the United States. Huang Wenqi, Director of Strategic Planning of the Ministry of National Defense, confirmed that the 13 project committees, commercial procurement, and Taiwan-US cooperation projects that were cut by the Legislative Yuan have all been included in the supplementary budget.

Taiwan's cabinet approved a supplementary defence budget of NT$145.7 billion (US$4.6 billion) on Thursday, raising the island's total defence-related spending for the year above NT$1 trillion for the first time. The additional funding is expected to increase defence spending from 3.32% to about 3.83% of GDP, the highest level in decades. The budget, which still requires legislative approval, aims to offset opposition lawmakers' May cut of NT$470 billion from an eight-year NT$1.25 trillion special defence package. Two classified programmes would account for NT$64.5 billion of the supplementary budget.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) pointed out that Russian intelligence agencies are actively planning sabotage operations against the Danish defense industry and are trying to recruit Danish people through social media to help collect intelligence, indicating that Russia's threat to Denmark is growing.
