James Mattis as the Trump&#8217;s top civilian defense official after the inauguration ceremonies are finished. That would mean that Work would only be in charge of the military for a few hours. <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The acting service secretaries will spend more time in their roles. Trump has only announced his pick for one replacement\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Army Secretary nominee Vincent Viola\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and no timetable has been announced for his confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until Viola is in place, Robert Speer will serve as acting Army secretary. He is currently assistant secretary for financial management at the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sean Stackley, the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, will serve as acting Navy secretary until a replacement is confirmed. Lisa Disbrow, the Air Force\u2019s current undersecretary, will temporarily take over the service\u2019s top job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly 50 other defense civilian leaders will also stay in place temporarily at the Pentagon, filling deputy and assistant secretary roles until replacements are named. But the shuffling will leave some key posts vacant for now, including the department\u2019s principal deputy undersecretary for policy and and principal deputy undersecretary for personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also unclear how many of the temporary leadership officials may be considered for promotions to a full-time role, given their past experience with military bureaucracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe allowtransparency=\"true\" class=\"twitter-follow-button twitter-follow-button-rendered\" data-screen-name=\"LeoShane\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets\/follow_button.c4fd2bd4aa9a68a5c8431a3d60ef56ae.en.html#dnt=false&amp;id=twitter-widget-0&amp;lang=en&amp;screen_name=LeoShane&amp;show_count=false&amp;show_screen_name=true&amp;size=l&amp;time=1484917618206\" title=\"Twitter Follow Button\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<script id=\"twitter-wjs\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Leo Shane III covers Congress, Veterans Affairs and the White House for Military Times.
