U.S. Secretary of DefenseAshton Carter, the Wonk Who Would Lead the Pentagon
Obama is widely believed to tap an ex-physicist who cuts military waste like a laser to become the next secretary of defense. Call it the revenge of the wonk. After being passed over for Defense Secretary last year while serving as the Pentagon’s No. 2, Ashton Carter, a widely admired manager noted for his knack for wrangling budgets and weapons contracts, left government. It seemed as if he’d never serve in the top slot.

Hagel ResignsWhite House seeks a stronger hand at Pentagon to manage crises

U.S. Forces in IraqPentagon, in reversal, won’t wait for Congress to deploy Iraq troops
The Pentagon said Thursday that it would begin deploying 1,500 new troops to Iraq "in the next weeks" without first securing funding from Congress, reversing previous comments. "We can deploy troops to the theater, but — so that — that process can and will continue," said Defense Department press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby. Kirby also said Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. Central Command, has also moved about 50 U.S. forces within Iraq to Anbar Province to get a "jump start" on expanding the advise-and-assist mission, as well as starting to train Iraqi forces in their fight against Islamic militants.

ISIS and Air StrikesWhy Can’t the Pentagon Kill the Islamic State’s Top Commanders?
Since the Obama administration's bombing campaign began in Iraq on Aug. 8, the United States has not conducted what's called a "decapitation strike," an attack specifically aimed at taking out a member of the Islamic State's senior military commanders. The tactic's absence from the military campaign is particularly glaring because hunting high-value militants has become a cornerstone of the Obama administration's counterterrorism strategy in other parts of the world.

MilitaryHow the Pentagon Is Adapting to Globalization
Google may not need defense contracts, but the Pentagon needs more and better relationships with companies like Google. Only the private sector can provide the kind of cutting-edge technology that has given U.S. troops a distinct advantage for the past 70 years.

Al-Qaeda in SyriaThe Pentagon Can’t Say If It Stopped the Khorasan Terror Threat
The United States launched eight strikes against the Khorasan Group last month "to disrupt the imminent attack plotting against the United States and Western interests," Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said in a Sept. 23 statement. Those strikes targeted the group's "training camps, an explosives and munitions production facility, a communications building, and command and control facilities." There were also early reports that Mohsin al-Fadhli, one of the group's leaders, was killed during the airstrikes around Aleppo—a city in northwestern Syria—but the Pentagon is unable to confirm those reports.
