That job lines Griffin up to becomes the first ever undersecretary of defense for research and technology, or USDR&amp;E, come Feb. 1 when AT&amp;L is split into two new organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Oct. 9 , Defense News exclusively reported that Griffin was the likely nominee for the R&amp;E spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/pentagon\/2017\/10\/09\/michael-griffin-former-nasa-head-leading-candidate-for-re-spot\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-512258388.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Michael Griffin, former NASA head, leading candidate for R&#038;E spot<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">It is likely the White House will seek to have a nominee already cleared and ready to go before the new role is formally created on Feb. 1, and although the nomination is not guaranteed, Griffin appears to be the only serious candidate, sources say.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellen Lord, the current undersecretary of AT&amp;L, will slide over to the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment. Both Lord and Griffin will have to be reconfirmed for those jobs, but are not expected to field any opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As R&amp;E, Griffin will serve as the department\u2019s point person on developing new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also announced Friday was Randall Schriver to be assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific affairs. In that role, Schriver would lead the Pentagon\u2019s outreach on issues in the Pacific. The announcement comes as Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis visited South Korea, and just a few weeks before President Donald Trump will make his first trip to Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schriver served as deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 2003 to 2005, and as chief of staff and senior policy adviser to Richard Armitage, then deputy secretary of state, from 2001 to 2003. He followed Armitage into private consultancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March, Defense News broke that Schriver, seen as an advocate for Taiwan, was in discussions to join the Pentagon in some role.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/pentagon\/2017\/04\/05\/schriver-emerges-as-potential-pentagon-policy-nominee\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/randall-schriver-taiwan.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Schriver emerges as potential Pentagon policy nominee<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Randall Schriver would bring notable expertise in Pacific region to the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One former Pentagon official praised Schriver, calling him \u201cvery solid,\u201d and saying \u201che is the last person to throw a temper tantrum, he has a very cool head and he thinks stuff through. He is an adult, he\u2019s been through this process, he has worked for very senior folks at senior levels of government, and he knows how the place works.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn terms of intellectual background, in terms of career development, he\u2019s just a great fit,\u201d the former official added. \u201cI think he would be a great
