Pentagon's Lethality Task Force Is 'Dead' if Army Put in Charge, Top Adviser Says

Defense Secretary Mark Esper put forward a plan Thursday to place the Army in charge of the Close Combat Lethality Task Force, a move that drew immediate opposition from a top adviser to the task force.

"What we're going to do, probably, is transition it to the Army because something like that needs a strong foundation of backbone upon which its ideas can then filter out," Esper said of the task force, which was set up by his predecessor, Jim Mattis.

The task force, originally positioned at the Pentagon, was designed to make recommendations to all the services.
