In short, it was true that the Defense Department removed the article about Robinson as part of a departmentwide push to "remove all DoD news and feature articles, photos and videos that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" in accordance with a Feb. 26 memo that described the removals as a "digital content refresh."

An article highlighting baseball and civil rights hero Jackie Robinson's U.S. Army career was back on the Department of Defense website after being removed in a DEI purge.

At least one website about Robinson, who trained as an officer and was assigned to a tank regiment during World War II, was reinstated Wednesday afternoon.
