WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator and Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) member Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on the U.S. Senate confirming General Mark Milley to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
“General Milley is an impressive public servant who will make an excellent Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I am glad to see us fill another important national security position.”
Senator Cramer, the first North Dakotan to serve on SASC, met with General Milley earlier this month to discuss his nomination and to ensure he supports and understands the unique capabilities of North Dakota’s military community.
