There’s a new Defense Department group charged with studying ― and, hopefully, reducing ― the prevalence of aircraft crashes, vehicle rollovers, ship collisions and moe.r
The Joint Safety Council held its first meeting Friday, following its creation by the most recent National Defense Authorization Act. The group isn’t quite sure yet how often it will meet, or what its work will entail, but the sky is pretty much the limit.
“We think it’s an important thing for the department and that it can, once it’s stood up and becomes a regular meeting and performing body, help enhance the overall safety culture, and help enable Defense Department senior leadership oversight and accountability,” Shawn Skelly, current assistant defense secretary for readiness, told Military Times on Friday.
