The Texas Military Department has removed an unspecified number of National Guard troops deployed to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with its validation process.
A spokesperson for the Texas Military Department confirmed that "a small group" of the 200 National Guard members sent to Illinois this past week have been replaced after they were found to not meet certain standards. The move came amid criticism on social media over pictures that showed some of the Guard members appearing to be overweight.
A set of viral photos by ABC News earlier this week showed troops arriving in Chicago, with several appearing heavyset. The Texans were met with derision online for their appearance, with several people noting Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s comments about fitness standards during his September speech to top military leaders.

德州軍事部門撤回了一批在芝加哥部署的國民兵,原因是他們未「符合」該部門的驗證程序要求。
德州軍事部門發言人證實,本週派往伊利諾州的200名國民兵成員,有「一小部分」因未達到某些標準而被撤換。此舉正值肥胖國民兵照片在社群媒體上引發批評之際。
《美國廣播公司》本週稍早發布了一組國民兵抵達芝加哥的照片,其中有幾人身形肥胖。這些德州士兵因此在網路上遭到嘲諷,不少人還引用國防部長赫格塞斯9月對軍方高層演講時,對體測標準的評論。
