That makes her the first female CNO and the first female on the Joint Chiefs. Apparently SecDef Austin had selected another (male) admiral as CNO, but was overruled by Biden.\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/national-security\/austin-picks-man-top-navy-job-instead-woman-frontrunner-rcna88908\">NBC News<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Her nomination follows more than a month of speculation of who the next CNO pick would be after reports emerged Secretary of Defense Austin recommended Paparo to take leadership of the service following Gilday. Several defense officials told USNI News that the move to put Paparo in the CNO job would put the Army in a position to take charge of INDO-PACOM \u2013 a command the Navy has held for almost 80 years.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2023\/07\/21\/breaking-white-house-picks-lisa-franchetti-as-next-cno-sam-paparo-as-indo-pacom-co\">USNI news<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, today (Monday) Biden had the Pentagon announce that Space Command headquarters&#8217; location had been resolved and\u00a0 would go to Colorado Springs rather than Huntsville, AL as the Air Force and Trump had ordered.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cToday, following a thorough and deliberate evaluation process, and after consultation with Secretary Austin and weighing the input of senior military leaders, President Biden notified the Department of Defense that he has selected Colorado Springs as the permanent location of the U.S. Space Command Headquarters.&#8221; &#8211; Pentagon<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This reverses President Trump&#8217;s decision to put the HQ in Huntsville. Seems those silly Huntsville folks chose to be in Alabama, which passed a most un-PC anti-abortion law in 2019 which has ruffled Democratic feathers for several years now.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is clear to anyone who has looked at the facts: Huntsville, Alabama is the best place for U.S. Space Command Headquarters. Repeated investigations and objective reviews have proven that to be the case. It is shameful that the Biden Administration is ignoring what is best for our nation\u2019s security and is instead using their woke agenda to make this decision. To this point, the administration has refused to answer questions brought forth by the House Armed Services Committee\u2019s investigation of their actions in this process.&#8221;\u00a0 Rep.
