The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General is launching a review of U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command to probe the recent record of both in following Pentagon law of war requirements, which will include a review of whether CENTCOM and SOCOM violations have been properly reported.
The Inspector General review comes amid a change of command at the Pentagon, with President Joe Biden s new secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin, asserting his control over the military with a series of reforms.
