New defense secretary makes another major military change, this one on Special Forces

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller on Wednesday made his second major change since taking charge of the Pentagon, streamlining the command structure for the Special Forces.

One day after announcing a reduction in U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, Miller visited Fort Bragg, home of Army Special Operations Command, and signed a memo authorizing the change in the command structure.

Miller, a former member of the Army Special Forces, deployed to Afghanistan in the weeks after the 9/11 attacks with the Army's 5th Special Forces Group and deployed several more times to Iraq and Afghanistan.
