Generals Expect Clifford to Consult Them Earlier
Senior officers predict new Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford will seek military counsel sooner than Robert McNamara did. They say McNamara relied on civilians and analysts, with generals consulted after decisions were framed, while Clifford may lean more on the Joint Chiefs of Staff for policy input. Johnson stressed civilian control, signaling no challenge to Clifford’s supremacy. Clifford helped draft the unification act uniting services under one Defense Department, and officials doubt any overt pushback by the generals.
