Senate Confirms Dan Caine to Lead Joint Chiefs of Staff
By: Gareth Vipers for the Wall Street Journal
The Senate confirmed Lt. Gen. Dan Caine as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff following President Trump’s surprise shake-up at the Pentagon. Retired Air Force fighter pilot Caine replaces Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., who Trump ousted in February alongside other senior military leaders. The 60-25 Senate vote came in the early hours of Friday after Democrats had expressed concerns about the dramatic firing of a raft of Pentagon officials that also included Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the Navy and to be on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of staff for the Air Force.
