Video: Acting Defense Secretary Visits Fort Bragg – Makes a Historic Advance for Special Operations
Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller marks another milestone in SOF history with action to implement Congress’ intent in the 2017 NDAA Section 922 to improve civilian oversight and place ASD SO/LIC in the ADCON chain of command giving it service like oversight and improve advocacy for SOF by making the ASD SO/LIC report directly to the SECDEF and no longer under the purview of the USD(P). He could not have chosen a better location than on SOF hallowed ground at Fort Bragg. Chris gave a great speech (as always) and explains the importance of this action that had languished in the Pentagon for the past two SECDEFs.
