Retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Arnold Punaro, the former staff director of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an emailed statement that he anticipates Brown will ultimately have bipartisan support.
"The Senate Armed Services Committee will conduct a thorough and complete confirmation process and hearing, and I fully expect Gen. Brown to be confirmed on an overwhelming bipartisan basis -- once he leaps over any procedural hurdles currently in place for senior military nominations," Punaro said.
