He was pushed out of the door.” The official Pentagon announcement is expected soon. The source also said White House officials are optimistic that after a contentious battle, former Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel will be confirmed shortly as Defense secretary, and he can help pick a new person for the post. Previously, the White House was thought to be keeping the nomination open while Allen mulled whether to seek the post. |

As Dancing With Czars writes: Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has announced that General Carter Ham, commanding officer of Africa Command, has been dismissed. His replacement is to be Obama nominee General David Rodriguez. Also General Joseph Dunford, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, is to be replaced by Lieutenant General John Paxton. While not “officially” relieved of command, Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette is being reassigned to a post in Bremerton Washington and replaced by Rear Admiral Troy Shoemaker until the so called investigations are completed. In addition, the commanding officer of the Virginia Beach-based amphibious dock landing ship Fort McHenry was relieved in November following ‘allegations of misconduct’, as Hamptonroads points out: ”Hartman was one of two Navy ship captains removed today. Following allegations of misconduct, Capt. Ted Williams was relieved as commanding officer of the amphibious command ship Mount Whitney, also operating out of the Navy’s 6th Fleet. Its home port is Gaeta, Italy. The Navy announced the dismissals in separate press releases attached to the same email.” |
