The database includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch.

The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military.

The database also underscores the confusion that has swirled among agencies about what to remove following President Trump 's order.

In the Marine Corps , just one defense civilian is available to do the work.

The Marine Corps estimates that person has identified at least 10,000 images for removal.

That does not count more than 1,600 social media sites that have not yet been addressed.

The Marines are moving on the directive as fast as possible, but very few civilian or contractor employees at the Pentagon can perform content removal.
