  • The Position of Secretary of Defense: Statutory Restrictions and Civilian-Military Relations
    The Position of Secretary of Defense: Statutory Restrictions and Civilian-Military Relations Updated January 6, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44725 Position of Secretary of Defense: Statutory Restrictions and Civilian-Military Relations Summary The position of Secretary of Defense is unique within the United States government; it is one of two civilian positions within the military chain of command, although unlike the President, the Secretary of Defense is not elected. Section 113 of the United States Code states that the Secretary of Defense is to be “appointed from civilian life by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” The section goes on to elaborate a key mechanism by which civilian control of the armed forces is maintained: A person may not be appointed as Secretary of Defense within seven years after relief from active duty as a commissioned officer of a regular component of an armed force. The proposed nomination of General (Ret.) Lloyd Austin, United States Army, who retired from the military in 2016, to be Secretary of Defense may lead both houses of Congress to consider whether and how to suspend, change, or remove that provision. This provision was originally contained in the 1947 National Security Act (P.L. 80-253), which mandated that 10 years pass between the time an officer is relieved from active duty and when he or she could be appointed to the office of the Secretary of Defense. In 2007, Section 903 of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), Congress changed the period of time that must elapse between relief from active duty and appointment to the position of Secretary of Defense to seven years.

  • The Butt of the Joke? Laughter and Potency in the Becoming of Good Soldiers
    The Butt of the Joke? The Butt of the Joke? Laughter and Potency in the Becoming of Good Soldiers Beate Sløk-Andersen Copenhagen Business School Denmark Abstract In the Danish military, laughter plays a key role in the process of becoming a good soldier. Along with the strictness of hierarchy and discipline, a perhaps surprisingly widespread use of humor is essential in the social interaction, as the author observed during a participatory fieldwork among conscripted soldiers in the army. Unfolding the wider context and affective flows in this use of humor, however, the article suggests that the humorous tune (Ahmed 2014a) that is established among the soldiers concurrently has severe consequences as it not only polices soldiers’ sexuality and ‘wrong’ ways for men to be close, but also entangles in the ‘making’ of good, potent soldiers. Humor is therefore argued to be a very serious matter that can cast soldiers as either insiders or outsiders to the military profession. Keywords: military, humor, attunement, affects, military service, potency, sexuality uring a four-month-long participatory fieldwork amongst soldiers serving in the Danish army, I experienced how laughter permeated everyday life and caused momentary breaks from the seriousness that came with being Dembedded in a quite hierarchal structure. Even the sergeants who were supposed to discipline the young soldiers were keen on lightening the atmosphere by telling jokes or encouraging others to do so. Humor appeared to make military service more fun: it lightened the mood and supported social bonds among soldiers which also made the tough times more bearable. However, I also observed how humor took part in ‘making’ of military professionals; how seemingly innocent comments or actions that were “just a joke” took part in establishing otherwise unspoken limitations and norms for how to be a good soldier.

  • Trump's Generals
    STRATEGIC STUDIES QUARTERLY - PERSPECTIVE Trump’s Generals: A Natural Experiment in Civil-Military Relations JAMES JOYNER Abstract President Donald Trump’s filling of numerous top policy positions with active and retired officers he called “my generals” generated fears of mili- tarization of foreign policy, loss of civilian control of the military, and politicization of the military—yet also hope that they might restrain his worst impulses. Because the generals were all gone by the halfway mark of his administration, we have a natural experiment that allows us to com- pare a Trump presidency with and without retired generals serving as “adults in the room.” None of the dire predictions turned out to be quite true. While Trump repeatedly flirted with civil- military crises, they were not significantly amplified or deterred by the presence of retired generals in key roles. Further, the pattern continued in the second half of the ad- ministration when “true” civilians filled these billets. Whether longer-term damage was done, however, remains unresolved. ***** he presidency of Donald Trump served as a natural experiment, testing many of the long- debated precepts of the civil-military relations (CMR) literature. His postelection interviewing of Tmore than a half dozen recently retired four- star officers for senior posts in his administration unleashed a torrent of columns pointing to the dangers of further militarization of US foreign policy and damage to the military as a nonpartisan institution. At the same time, many argued that these men were uniquely qualified to rein in Trump’s worst pro- clivities. With Trump’s tenure over, we can begin to evaluate these claims.

  • Newfolk NDF: Military Speech
    Newfolk NDF: Military Speech New Directions in Folklore 7 2003 Newfolk :: NDF :: Archive :: Issue 7 Military Speech Carol Burke When freshmen, or "plebes," at the U.S. Naval Academy finish their summer basic training, they trade in their "dixie cups" (sailor hats) for "covers" (officer hats) and begin the toughest year in their careers, a year in which "flamers" "ream them out" in front of their peers for minor infractions. Those who receive the harshest abuse are the "shit screens"; those who ingratiate themselves with upperclassmen, the "smacks." In World War II, a pilot would rev up his "coffee grinder" (plane engine) and, with permission of the "madhouse (control tower), take off toward his target, where he would either "hang out the laundry" (drop parachutists), lay a few "eggs" (bombs), or make a "split S" (combat maneuver) and then hightail it from the "junior prom" (hot mission), "flak happy" (suffering from combat fatigue), hoping to get home without a "panting virgin" or a "ruptured duck" (injured plane). Members of the military, like other occupational groups, maintain their own informal vocabulary, one that serves to distinguish them from civilians, to add humor to what is often a tedious job, to relieve anxiety when the tension of war replaces the tedium of peace, and to express their frustration with the hierarchical institution of which they are a small part. In their close-knit communities they pass along inherited and often humorous turns of speech while simultaneously coining new colorful expressions that comment on the particular experiences of their unit. Some of these never make their way out of basic training, some flourish only during a particular mission, while still others become firmly established in a unit's lexicon and foster a sense of exclusivity.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 the President's News Conference
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 The President's News Conference With Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of Iraq December 12, 2011 President Obama. Please have a seat. Good afternoon, everyone. When I took office, nearly 150,000 American troops were deployed in Iraq, and I pledged to end this war, responsibly. Today, only several thousand troops remain there, and more are coming home every day. This is a season of homecomings, and military families across America are being reunited for the holidays. In the coming days, the last American soldiers will cross the border out of Iraq with honor and with their heads held high. After nearly 9 years, our war in Iraq ends this month. Today I'm proud to welcome Prime Minister Maliki, the elected leader of a sovereign, self-reliant, and democratic Iraq. We're here to mark the end of this war, to honor the sacrifices of all those who made this day possible, and to turn the page, begin a new chapter in the history between our countries, a normal relationship between sovereign nations, an equal partnership based on mutual interests and mutual respect. Iraq faces great challenges, but today reflects the impressive progress that Iraqis have made. Millions have cast their ballots—some risking or giving their lives—to vote in free elections. The Prime Minister leads Iraq's most inclusive government yet. Iraqis are working to build institutions that are efficient and independent and transparent. Economically, Iraqis continue to invest in their infrastructure and development. And I think it's worth considering some remarkable statistics.

  • Lead Inspector General for Operation Freedom's Sentinel April 1, 2021
    OFS REPORT TO CONGRESS FRONT MATTER OPERATION FREEDOM’S SENTINEL LEAD INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS APRIL 1, 2021–JUNE 30, 2021 FRONT MATTER ABOUT THIS REPORT A 2013 amendment to the Inspector General Act established the Lead Inspector General (Lead IG) framework for oversight of overseas contingency operations and requires that the Lead IG submit quarterly reports to Congress on each active operation. The Chair of the Council of Inspectors General for Integrity and Efficiency designated the DoD Inspector General (IG) as the Lead IG for Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (OFS). The DoS IG is the Associate IG for the operation. The USAID IG participates in oversight of the operation. The Offices of Inspector General (OIG) of the DoD, the DoS, and USAID are referred to in this report as the Lead IG agencies. Other partner agencies also contribute to oversight of OFS. The Lead IG agencies collectively carry out the Lead IG statutory responsibilities to: • Develop a joint strategic plan to conduct comprehensive oversight of the operation. • Ensure independent and effective oversight of programs and operations of the U.S. Government in support of the operation through either joint or individual audits, inspections, investigations, and evaluations. • Report quarterly to Congress and the public on the operation and activities of the Lead IG agencies. METHODOLOGY To produce this quarterly report, the Lead IG agencies submit requests for information to the DoD, the DoS, USAID, and other Federal agencies about OFS and related programs. The Lead IG agencies also gather data and information from other sources, including official documents, congressional testimony, policy research organizations, press conferences, think tanks, and media reports.

  • For Immediate Release August 16, 2021 Chairman Ted Harvey
    For Immediate Release August 16, 2021 Chairman Ted Harvey Chairman of the Committee to Defeat the President Senator Ted Harvey Urges the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense to Resign Immediately Alexandria, VA – The disaster unfolding in Afghanistan was not hard to predict by any foreign policy expert or student of history. My brother has served more than thirty years as a career foreign services officer in our government and spent the majority of his time serving in U.S. Embassies throughout the Middle East. He once predicted, “any American civilian on the ground in Afghanistan by the middle of August would be evacuated by helicopter” – what a prophetic statement. How could the Biden Administration not see this coming and how could they be so naive? This will go down as the greatest failure of United States leadership since the fall of Saigon. Why were any American civilians left anywhere in Afghanistan after March 1? The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, and the Secretary of Defense General Lloyd Austin (Ret.) have been more worried about pushing critical race theory (CRT), lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights, and mandating vaccines on our troops than they were in protecting our brave men and women on the ground in a war zone. They have failed our military. They have failed our civil servants in embassies around the world and they have failed our nation’s honor. They should both resign effective immediately! The only remaining question now is how soon will it be before we see President Biden sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office broadcasting to the American people saying, “I shall not seek, nor will I accept my party’s nomination to serve another term as your president?” ### Paid for by the Committee to Defeat the President Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
