OTHER OPINION Austin admirable nominee for defense secretary en. Lloyd Austin, President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for secretary of defense, represents Ga laudable first: If confirmed he’d be the first African American to hold the post, sending a reas- suring signal to Americans amid the racial reckoning sparked by George Floyd’s killing, and especially to those in uniform, of whom about 43% are people of color. Austin, a West Point graduate who had a stellar 41-year U.S. Army career, broke barriers multiple times, including being the only Black officer to head U.S. Central Command, where among his responsi- bilities were conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Known primarily for his battlefield roles, Austin also understands bureaucratic infighting, as well as the importance of relationships with civilian leaders — including the incoming commander in chief, who worked closely with Austin while vice president. Along the way Austin also walked the talk on diver- sity, mentoring a highly competent cohort of Black officers. His military and management acumen will be crucial as the country faces enduring threats in some of the same nations that were under Austin’s purview at Central Command, as well as from the country many consider America’s most consequential challenge, China. And beyond nation-states there are stateless, asymmetric threats like terrorism. Yet a Wouldn’t cause much of a difference for users new defense secretary’s first mission will be stateside: helping coordinate coronavirus vaccinations to end the pandemic.
