Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s hold on military nominees is having a cascading effect on the Pentagon’s top leaders.

Scott Applewhite/AP PhotoAn Alabama senator’s blockade of military nominations is about to hit a new phase, and it will have a major impact at the highest levels of the Pentagon.
“Senator Tuberville is taking the military nominees as political hostages,” said Arnold Punaro, a retired Marine Corps major general and former Senate Armed Services Committee staff director. “There’s just no getting around it, these are political hostages over a policy that he disagrees with by the current administration.”
“The effects are cumulative and it will affect families. It will affect kids going to schools because they won’t be able to change their duty station,” he added. “It’s a powerful effect and will impact on our readiness.
Days later, current Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday is expected to relinquish command around Aug. 14, after which Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the vice chief of naval operations, would take over on an interim basis. Franchetti “would have the full authorities” of the office, said Cmdr. Courtney Hillson, a spokesperson for Gilday.
The name of Gilday’s replacement has not yet been announced, but Austin has recommended Pacific Fleet chief Adm. Samuel Paparo as the Navy’s next chief of naval operations,. In choosing Paparo, Austin passed over Franchetti, who would still have to assume temporary leadership of the Navy.
