Summary
This order cancels the prior requirement that an intelligence official publish an annual, unclassified summary of U.S. strikes outside active war zones and assessments of combatant and non‑combatant deaths. It specifically revokes Section 3 of the earlier executive order that set the May 1 reporting deadline.
The change directly affects intelligence and defense reporting practices and alters what information is routinely released to the public about U.S. strikes and civilian harm.
