Why Gen. Mark Milley Will Probably Keep His Job as Joint Chiefs Chairman

When he became commander in chief, President Joe Biden wasted no time replacing the military service secretaries and acting head of the Defense Department. If he wanted, he could also name a replacement for Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley, who came under scrutiny under President Donald Trump for participating in a politically loaded photo op.
But Milley's likely to keep his spot -- and experts say it would be bad for the nation if he doesn't.
It's unlikely there will be a shake-up to the Joint Chiefs, The Associated Press reported last month, though an unnamed Pentagon official told the Responsible Statecraft, a publication of the Quincy Institute think tank, that Milley could be asked to retire early so that newly minted Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown, the first black service chief, could step into the role.
