during a pomp-filled ceremony Monday at the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington.
“You know, it’s been more than a century since the U.S. Marine Corps has operated without a Senate-confirmed commandant,” he continued. “Smooth and timely transitions of confirmed leadership are central to the defense of the United States.” The senator’s procedural holds mean that senior officers across the military are unable to move their families to their new assignments, and in many cases are losing out on the pay raises that promotions entail.
Berger is the first of four members of the eight-member Joint Chiefs of Staff who will begin retiring this year. With the hold in place, half the chiefs, the leaders of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, along with the chair, will have no confirmed successor in the seat to replace them.
