Air Force Secretary James Roche is Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s current choice to replace Tom White as secretary of the Army, according to Pentagon and industry sources.
But Roche’s background as a Navy officer and, most recently, as secretary of the service with which Army leaders have fought over roles and missions, would not hurt his relations with Army generals, the retired senior leader said.
“Roche is well respected by all senior military leadership from his dealings with them in industry, and I think that he doesn’t have any bad feelings from his time as the secretary of another service, so even if he moves into another service department, I think people would salute and move out,” he said.
