I'm hopeful that'll be the case. But can SECDEF (it's still called the Department of Defense, regardless of stationery changes) hand-pick the unit commanders and military officers?

No. The closest they could get is hand picking a specific military unit, but there are limitations on even that.

Thanks. I appreciate your comments in this thread.
