(

  • ... that an independent Chief Management Officer of the U.S. Department of Defense position was rejected in 2007, but was created in February 2018? Source: "DoD's response was to disclaim the need for a new chief management officer... In September 2007, the Secretary of Defense formally assigned chief management roles and responsibilities to the Deputy Secretary." [1]
  • ALT1: ... that the new Chief Management Officer of the U.S. Department of Defense position outranks the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force? Source: "Jay Gibson, DoD's first chief management officer, and third-in-command after the defense secretary and deputy defense secretary..." [2]; "The new CMO will have independent authority to order the the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force to implement reforms..." [3]

Hi, I came to put this into the DYK queue, but the article does not seem to have the claim referred to by ALT1 - can this be looked into? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:44, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

  • @Ritchie333: The lead says the CMO "is the third-in-command of the department after the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of Defense"; the three military secretaries are not in that list and so are outranked by the CMO. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 01:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
@Antony-22: Okay, can you pop that somewhere in the article (I see that's in the source above), then we'll be good to get this back into the queue. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:21, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
@Ritchie333: Done. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 23:01, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
