<h1>Pentagon Faces Leadership Uncertainty as Trump Prepares Transition; Military Chiefs May Step In Temporarily.</h1> Uncertainty surrounds the leadership transition at the Pentagon as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office. With top military leaders stepping down, no acting defense secretary has been named, prompting military chiefs to prepare as potential temporary service secretaries. The Senate Armed Services Committee will vote on Trump's defense nominee, but confirmation may be delayed. Concerns over policy changes have made Biden administration officials hesitant to serve under Trump. Civilian control of the military is a priority, but military chiefs may temporarily assume roles.
