Some personal personnel news: I am very pleased to share that as of today, I am CQ Roll Call's defense and national security editor. I'm grateful for the opportunity, and excited to see what we can do. I guess I should learn how to spell "combatant" correctly.

@BenFreemanDC @Ami_Marisol I defer to @connorobrienNH and @LeoShane on all things related to NDAA timing.

Mark Warner to give a press conference on this shortly.
