It didn’t come from ADM Roughhead. He is implementing … I’m really trying hard to remember where this came from… it was either Congress, or… trying to remember. Isn’t the Secretary of Defense a civilian?

OK, Google is my friend, but I don’t have time to drill down… I did find this very quickly: DoD Directive 1020.02

Clearly ADM Roughhead’s comments came after the issuance of DOD Directive 1020.02. He is just being a good seaman, as are the heads of the Army, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, Reserves, Coast Guard. DOD directives are all-encompassing.
