(MENAFN) The United States Marine Corps has been left short of an established commander for the first time in more than a hundred years because a lone Republican elder declined to assure nearly 250 army upgrades in demonstration against the Pentagon’s suspending rule.
While Marine Commandant General David Berger started his retirement on Monday and is also ready to be substituted by his second-in-command, General Eric Smith, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville has refused to officially approve the modification in management, which necessitates common agreement.
The elder has not permitted upgrades to take place since March, quoting a new Defense Department suspend law which gives salaried leave as well as compensated for service associates who travel to another district for the process. The demonstration has paused nearly 250 promotions, including high-level posts, and is possible to abandon the Joint Chiefs of Staff short of a chairman when General Mark Milley stop working in September.
