The job of deputy secretary of defense is widely known to be one of the toughest in government. It is, after all, the chief operating officer for the largest employer in the world. Beginning her Government Service as a president ial management intern, and spending time both in and out of government, dr. Kathleen hicks was quite familiar with the demands of the job before she was sworn in. She was well prepared to take them on. Just prior to her current position, she was the Senior Vice President Henry Kissinger chair and director of security at csi us. She was sworn in on february 9th, 2021.
