No schedule yet for service secretary confirmation hearings

With a new defense secretary confirmed, Senate officials can now turn their attention to considering President Donald Trump’s picks to lead the individual military services. But exactly when those hearings will take place is unclear.

A planned hearing for Army Secretary nominee Daniel Driscoll scheduled for last week was postponed by Senate Armed Services Committee officials because of a delay in his FBI background check. A similar delay happened with Veterans Affairs Secretary nominee Doug Collins earlier this month.

Meanwhile, no hearings have been scheduled yet for Trumps’ pick to lead the Navy and Marine Corps, John Phelan, or his pick to lead the Air Force, Troy Meink. Both are expected to appear before the committee in coming weeks, but no clear timeline has been announced for that work.

All of those posts — and a host of other key defense positions — are being held currently by acting officials named by Trump shortly after he took office. Those temporary appointees can maintain operations and initiate some new programs but are limited in their authority for long-term reform efforts.
