AUSTIN, Texas — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will visit two technology companies in Austin before traveling to College Station on Saturday for the Texas A&M-Kentucky football game.
The visit comes days the U.S. House postponed a vote on his impeachment.
Hegseth will visit two Austin-based companies: Capital Factory, a startup incubator and coworking hub, and Saronic Technologies, a defense technology company that designs and manufactures Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs), on Friday. He is set to deliver remarks to the workforce and its leaders as part of the “Arsenal of Freedom Tour.”
Hegseth will then make his way over to the Austin Armed Forces Reserve Center to administer the oath of enlistment to new recruits.
Then on Saturday, Hegseth is set to head to College Station to speak to the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M and to tour the Veterans Resource Center. While at Texas A&M, Hegseth is also set to attend the Aggies football game at 2:30 p.m. CT, where the school is expected to honor POW/MIA.
