Because Mattis retired from the military in 2013, his nomination required a waiver of the National Security Act of 1947, which requires a seven-year waiting period before retired military personnel can assume the top civilian role leading the defense department. The Air Force did not have Babbitts deployment data readily available on Thursday. The role of the vice president during Congresss certification of election is largely ceremonial. The Army announced Wednesday morning that a 38-year-old active-duty soldier in Virginia died of the disease. In addition to the 15 military deaths, there have been 129 civilian deaths, nine dependent deaths and 44 contractor deaths, according to the Pentagon data.
Because news reports mention Wiprah is out, he will assume the role.
