Dozens of reporters have turned in their access badges and exited the Pentagon rather than agree to a new media policy that restricts how journalists operate.
Journalists were asked to sign a pledge to refrain from reporting information not authorised for release by the US Department of War, formerly the Department of Defense.
The US government has described the new rule as "common sense".
News outlets were nearly unanimous in rejecting the rules imposed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The order would leave journalists vulnerable to expulsion if they sought to report on information – classified or otherwise – that had not been approved by Mr Hegseth for release.
Only the conservative One America News Network signed on.
