Military records describe Donald Trump\u2019s prospective Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as an \u201cincredibly talented, battle-proven leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

The records, obtained by Fox News<\/a> ahead of Hegseth\u2019s confirmation hearings this week, describe his \u201coutstanding\u201d leadership skills he demonstrated across his military service, which included deployments to Guant\u00e1namo Bay, Cuba, Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

In an officer evaluation report carried out between 2005 and 2006, Hegseth was praised for his \u201coutstanding performance\u201d and as an \u201cincredibly talented, battle-proven leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHaving taken charge of his platoon mere days before deployment to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, he effectively led his platoon through five months of combat,\u201d the report read.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe planned and executed platoon operations ranging from air assault raids to the defense of a forward operating base (FOB).\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also found that his \u201cplatoon remained physically fit and mentally ready to meet the challenges of protracted missions in demanding conditions.<\/p>\n

It also found that Hegseth \u201cmore than capable to operate independently, controlling not only his squads but also air support, indirect fire support and other external combat support assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since he was announced as Donald Trump\u2019s pick to lead the Pentagon, Democrats and RINO\u2019s have sought to attack Hegseth\u2019s character and reputation in a bid to scupper his chances of being confirmed.<\/p>\n

Among their lines of attack have included a historic claim of sexual assault and suggestions that he has a problem with alcohol.<\/p>\n

However, there is a growing sense of confidence that Hegseth has the support to pass through the Senate confirmation process.<\/p>\n

According to CBS, Senate Majority Leader\u00a0John Thune<\/span> has privately informed<\/a> Trump he believes Hegseth has the necessary votes for approval.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has also pledged to abstain from alcohol if confirmed to the role.<\/p>\n

Over 500 veterans, including former Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and service members from various branches, are set to march in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to back Hegseth\u2019s nomination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SEAL March for Pete Hegseth and attendance at hearing demonstrates strong and unwavering support from the warrior class for Pete Hegseth as he moves forward with his confirmation to become Secretary of Defense,\u201d the press release reads.<\/p>\n

\n

Former Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and Veterans Unite in DC to Back Pete Hegseth\u2019s Defense Secretary Nomination \u2014 Reportedly 500+ Veterans Set to March Tomorrow<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hegseth\u2019s confirmation hearing will begin<\/a> on Tuesday at 9:30AM ET in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee.<\/p>\n
