ON THE MOVE
CARTER TAKES ON NEW RESPONSIBILITIES Dr. Ashton B. Carter, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, received Senate confirma- tion to become the next Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Carter, who has been Under Secretary since April 2009, is a DOD leader in efforts to find cost savings, particularly in acquisition.
Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta said of Carter, “His rapid and responsive sup- port to the warfighter, and technical and program expertise are transforming the way this department does business and acquires weapons systems. I look for- ward to having Ash as my partner as we drive solutions to the strategic manage- ment challenges facing the Department of Defense.”
In addition, President Obama appointed Carter to an 11-member White House board tasked with cutting waste in fed- eral spending. The new Government Accountability and Transparency Board, presided over by Vice President Joe Biden, is working to “eliminate misspent tax dollars in every agency and department across the federal government.”
