Department of War ๐บ๐ธ engagement report
@DeptofWar - 7.5M followers on X
Measured over 53 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 4.1K interactions against 7.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.054%. Measured over 53 original posts, its engagement rate beats 76% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 183K times each, and 2.21% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.44% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 53 posts sampled, 79% carry an image or video and 21% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 54K interactions, about 13x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #army, #jtf_sb, #southcom.

Compared with accounts its own size
Department of War ๐บ๐ธ's engagement rate beats 76% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 79% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

๐ซ CLAIM: Over the past 48 hours, multiple media outlets have reported several false claims related to USS Abraham Lincoln's (CVN 72) deployment to the Middle East. One report alleged seven Sailors died in a brawl aboard the aircraft carrier and others have recently suggested a spike in suicidal ideations. These reports are FALSE.ย โ FACT: USS Abraham Lincoln has maintained among the highest crew reenlistment rates (84.4%) of all aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy. The Sailors and Marines of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group remain resilient and resolved after more than 260 days at sea, 10,000 aircraft flights, and 1.5 million pounds of ordnance expended. No service members aboard the aircraft carrier have died, and the one Sailor who fell overboard Aug. 3 was quickly and safely recovered. The rampant misreporting on Abraham Lincoln's historic deployment is a disservice to our men and women in uniform and their loved ones.

Out with our warriors at the Jungle Operations Training Center in Panama. No environment is too harsh, no terrain too tough. Incredibly proud of these lethal joint and partner forces. https://t.co/cJHqoepLY9

Yesterday evening, I had dinner with the very best of our country. These patriots have secured our hemisphere and are working alongside our partners to keep the pressure on. America is safer because of their courage, commitment, and strength. https://t.co/Dy5Hhdh8SD

Colombia is officially joining the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C). I met with Minister of Defense Mora (@mindefensa) in Panama City today as we launched a new chapter in U.S.-Colombia defense cooperation. https://t.co/19Rb4WMMi9

I deployed for 485 days in Afghanistan with an 80 percent-plus casualty rate. We came under fire nearly every day. Combat deployments bring real hardship. That is simply the truth. We endured it. We held together. We finished the mission. The media treatment of the USS Abraham Lincoln is something different. Legitimate challenges of a long combat deployment are being twisted into a false narrative, while the genuine difficulties faced by military families are being used for headlines. That is shameful. The Sailors aboard the Lincoln are doing what American warriors have always done: remaining resilient, focused on the mission, and proud of their service on this historic deployment. We stand with them.

For five years, the records of Gunnery Sergeant Jonathan Eby, Lance Corporal Jordan Houston and Corporal Michael Gretzon did not accurately reflect their heroism during the Abbey Gate terrorist attack. These men put their lives on the line to save others. Today, we made it right.
