Historic Eisenhower Globe Damaged at Pentagon During Staff Relocation Attempt
A historic globe used by Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II was damaged at the Pentagon in February while being moved by staff of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The globe, one of two associated with Eisenhower displayed at the Pentagon, was dropped onto its base, causing the spherical part to detach and a puncture near Antarctica. The incident occurred amid a partial government shutdown, and Pentagon officials have confirmed the damage but noted it was a replica globe.
