The U.S. Defense Department on Monday announced its pick to lead the
Missile Defense Agency -- Navy Rear Adm. James Syring, who if approved
would replace Lt. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly, the Washington Post reported (see GSN, Aug. 3).
The personnel announcement follows an internal Pentagon investigation that found significant fault with O'Reilly's leadership style since becoming MDA chief in November 2008. The inspector general report issued in May said the lieutenant general had "yelled and screamed at subordinates in both public and private settings," and had breached Defense Department ethics rules.
"We recommend the secretary of the Army consider appropriate corrective action with regard to Lt. Gen. O'Reilly," the IG report advised.
Syring presently serves as program executive officer for the Navy's Integrated Warfare Systems program. The nomination calls for him to become a vice admiral as well as taking over the Missile Defense Agency.
