"Tuberville's Troubling Actions: Undermining Military Policies and Promises"

Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville's objections to the Pentagon's policy of paying travel costs for service members seeking abortions have stalled the promotions of 275 senior military officers for months. This blockade is not only affecting military promotions but also causing delays in filling key civilian positions, including the Defense Department's top policy official. The Pentagon is concerned about the cascading impact on its civilian leadership, which plays a crucial role in addressing national security threats. The longer the blockade lasts, the more positions could be affected, hindering the department's ability to effectively address national security challenges.

Pentagon Policy Chief Kahl to Depart After NATO Summit.

Colin Kahl, the Pentagon's top policy official, is set to leave his post in July and return to his position as a tenured professor at Stanford University. Kahl has been a key player in shaping U.S. defense policy, particularly in synchronizing security assistance for Ukraine. Sasha Baker will take over his job in an acting capacity. Kahl had a tough confirmation battle two years ago and was rumored as a potential candidate to replace Jake Sullivan as national security adviser.

Pentagon's Top Policy Chief to Resign After NATO Summit.

Colin Kahl, the Pentagon's top policymaker, plans to resign and return to the private sector, likely to Stanford University, according to three US officials. Kahl, who served as national security adviser to then-Vice President Joe Biden, has not ruled out returning to serve in a second Biden administration. Sasha Baker, the deputy under secretary of defense for policy, could move up to the head policy job, at least in an acting capacity, while Mara Karlin, the assistant secretary of defense for strategy, plans and capabilities, could be nominated to replace Kahl.
