SOCOM leadership has been compromised since Obama purged the military of all competent senior officers.

This is very significant. Cuts the traitors and leakers out of the loop. Shortens the chain of command. More agile and swifter decision cycle and OODA loop.

Its cutting out middlemen (excess) in the chain of command for civilian leadership overseeing special ops forces.

Apparently this is what Esper was slow walking. This is what got him fired.

This directs high ranking, civilian leaders, overseeing special ops military and all of their their intel, and resources, closer to Trump.

Trimming the fat.

Edit: Streamlining orders and flow of intel I'd imagine.

Does this and all the military planes being up the air connected?

Normally 250 military planes up and running. But today 1800, 7.2 times the normal!

I feel like this a bigger deal than the article is making it out to be.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a former aide to Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn, is now filling the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low intensity conflict role on an acting basis.

Dude is a maniac. But in a good way.

It means Trump has control of Special Ops. Special Ops are the can opener to unleash the Kraken. Just my take.

This is interesting. In Syria there is a rumor that the ambassador and DOD have kept NCA out of the loop on how many troops are there, where they are, and what they are doing.

This is treason, and execution of foreign policy outside the awareness of the CiC.

The SPECOPS community needs vertical accountability and to be pulled from direct CIA control.
