\nSenator Tuberville (R-AL)<\/em><\/p>\n

The current Administration is not pleased. The Alabama senator\u2019s hold on all DoD civilian and military Flag and GO nominations is \u201cunprecedented in its scale and scope\u201d and \u201ca clear risk to U.S. military readiness\u201d according to SecDef Austin.<\/p>\n

Three Service Secretaries have just chimed in on a combined press release beating the same drum while evoking the terrible effects up and down the Chain of Command. The collective angst including dire warnings is published in today’s Washington Post<\/a> if any care to peruse the OPED. Bring a hankie.<\/p>\n

How the military manages to struggle along without the blessings of Admin approved “leadership” is the question.<\/p>\n

These US Navy commands can\u2019t bring in new leaders. So who\u2019s in charge?<\/h3>\n

By Megan Eckstein<\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 Naval Sea Systems Command has joined a growing list of U.S. Navy commands without Senate-confirmed leadership.<\/p>\n

Vice Adm. William Galinis retired in a ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard on Friday, having led NAVSEA since June 2020 and serving in the force since graduating in 1983 from the Naval Academy. His retirement leaves the command \u2014 which oversees ship design, construction and repair activities \u2014 under the acting command of a two-star admiral, rather than a Senate-confirmed three-star admiral.<\/p>\n

Since Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., blocked the military confirmation process in February over his opposition to the Pentagon\u2019s abortion policy, more than 300 flag and general officers have been held up from promotions and job assignments. Between now and the end of the year, that figure is expected to grow to 650, according to deputy Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh.<\/p>\n

There are 83 three- or four-star positions that are or will become vacant within the next 150 days, she said Aug. 28, including three military service chiefs. Sixty-one officers are unable to assume new positions, while 25 are postponing retirement until their replacement is confirmed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Defense News<\/a><\/p>\n

Unable to retire, the humanity! Defense News<\/em>, the DoD rag unwittingly showcases exactly how the military operates- a subordinate steps up to fill the vacancy and the mission continues. No stress, no question. The downside is these people have neither been nominated by woke proggies nor confirmed by a Senate of bobbleheads.<\/p>\n

Tuberville is changing tactics as well, now questioning the actual qualifications of those very same nominees. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
