WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Mark Esper has prepared a letter of resignation, according to three current defense officials.

It's not uncommon for Cabinet secretaries to prepare undated letters of resignation during a presidential transition, giving the commander in chief the chance to replace them for a second term. The president decides whether to accept the resignation letters, and the process usually occurs after the election results are clear.

      Commanding officer of destroyer Stout relieved for ‘loss of confidence

      The Navy relieved the commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer Stout Friday. Cmdr. Jeffrey Applebaugh, who has served as the commanding officer since October 2022, was ousted due to a “loss of confidence in his ability to command,” the Navy said in a statement Monday. He was relieved by Capt. Blair Guy, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 28, based in Norfolk, Va.

The exclusion from consideration is in the best interest of the DON. c. The officer has not previously failed of selection for promotion to the grade for which the officer requests deferral. 3.

For nuclear trained officers, the Officer and Enlisted Nuclear Programs Policy Branch (OPNAV N133), shall be included on the panel. For Naval Special Warfare Officers, the Naval Special Warfare Programs Policy Branch (OPNAV N137) shall be included on the panel. The panel will forward its recommendation to CNP via the community sponsor of the officer. 6. URL Community Sponsor Review. The URL community flag officer sponsor for requesting officers shall provide a recommendation concerning all PSB deferral requests. The community sponsor should consider the documented performance history of the officer and ability to provide future benefit to the Navy. For disapproval recommendations, the community sponsor shall state the reasons for the disapproval recommendation. 7. Officers will be notified in writing via e-mail of approval or disapproval of their request no later than 45 calendar days before the proposed convening date of the first FY-25 PSB. 8.

Officers selected for promotion in subsequent years after deferring FY- 25 PSB consideration will be placed into a new promotion year group based on their resulting date of rank. Those officers will be considered by future administrative and statutory PSBs with the new promotion year group. The records of officers with approved deferrals of promotion consideration will not be identified or made known to any PSB. 9.
