The Defense Department has named retired Air Force Gen. Lester Lyles as the vice chairman of the Defense Science Board. The former commander of the Air Force Materiel Command will serve with former DOD acquisition and technology czar Paul Kaminski, who was just named DSB chairman. Lyles will serve through December 2010.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
