President Obama, as expected, yesterday announced his intent to nominate James Miller as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. Miller is currently serving as the principal deputy to current Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Fluornoy, who is stepping down from the post Feb. 3. Miller joined the Pentagon in 2009 after serving as the Senior Vice President and Director of Studies at the Center for a New American Security. He served in the Pentagon during the Clinton Administration, and was a staffer on the House Armed Services Committee from 1988 to 1992.
