WASHINGTON (November 19, 2009)—U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates Thursday said he is putting former Army Secretary Togo West and former Navy chief Vernon Clark in charge of a broad Pentagon review of the circumstances surrounding the deadly Nov. 5 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
Gates said the 45-day review will look into gaps in how the military identifies service members who might be a threat to others, at personnel and medical programs, and at how well U.S. bases are able to respond to mass casualty incidents.
West was Army secretary in the mid-1990s and later became secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Clark was the chief of naval operations from 2000 to 2005.
