[Title] => Cruz wants civilian successor at DND
[Summary] =>
If the administration wants to sustain military reforms, a civilian — someone who is not a retired military or police officer — should be appointed as the next secretary of national defense.
This is according to outgoing Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz, who in his two-year stint as defense secretary set in motion crucial military reforms, most of which are among the recommendations of a special commission formed after the Oakwood mutiny on July 27, 2003.
