What was reported a few months agois now official: Gen. Raymond Odierno, the U.S. commander in Iraq, will head up the Joint Forces Command, pending (a certain) Senate confirmation. In the language of JFCOM’s press release, Odierno will “oversee UFJFCOM’s roles in joint concept development and experimentation, joint capability development, joint training, and force provision and management as outlined in the Department of Defense’s Unified Command Plan.”
Last week, President Obama and Defense Secretary Gates nominatedLt. Gen. Lloyd Austin — like Odierno, a former corps commander in Iraq — to take over for Odierno as the Iraq war’s final commander. Odierno’s official move to Joint Forces Command now sets off a flurry of speculation over whether the current commander there, Marine Gen. James Mattis, will either retire or become the Marine Corps’ next commandant.
