The Hill: President Trump on Wednesday named two veteran Defense Department civilians for top Pentagon acquisition jobs.
Trump picked William Roper to be the assistant Air Force secretary for acquisition and Kevin Fahey to be assistant Defense secretary for acquisition, the White House said in a statement.
The two must now be confirmed by the Senate.
Roper is currently the head of the Pentagon's Strategic Capabilities Office, a position he’s held since the office was created in 2012. He has also been the acting chief architect at the Missile Defense Agency and served as an adviser to the undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics.
