She previously worked as acting deputy director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, and has held numerous leadership positions within the Defense Department since 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If confirmed, she would take over the office from Tanya Skeen, who served in the post for the last 13 months in an acting role. The job oversees various acquisition program management responsibilities, including development of space, intelligence and business systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her nomination comes two days after Radha Iyengar Plumb was confirmed as deputy assistant secretary of defense for acquisition in a 68-30 Senate vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was one of only a few Pentagon leadership posts to be confirmed this year, since Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pentagon\/2022\/12\/06\/senator-vows-hold-on-military-nominees-over-pentagon-abortion-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\">announced a hold on all Defense Department nominations and promotions<\/a> over his objection to military policies regarding travel allowances for troops to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/03\/24\/abortion-fight-in-senate-snarls-hundreds-of-military-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\">receive abortion services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Democrats have decried the move and urged Tuberville\u2019s Republican colleagues to intervene. But Tuberville on Thursday said he has had no contact from top Defense Department officials in recent weeks over the issue, and has no plans to relent in his objections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No timetable was set for when Abercrombie may appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee for her confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The nomination could be delayed by political fights on Capitol Hill unrelated to the
