Pentagon Drafts 'Nonprescriptive' Handoff Guide

By MEGAN SCULLY

Defense Department officials have prepared a "nonprescriptive" guidebook on military policy to hand over to the Obama administration, a senior Pentagon official said today. Eric Edelman, the undersecretary of Defense for policy, said it includes a timeline for the first 90 days of the new administration, as well as other information on the state-of-play of military issues, but no specific guidance on how incoming Pentagon officials should proceed. "In past transitions, I've seen a lot folks... try to say, 'Look, here's the policy and here's why you should keep it,'" Edelman said. "I think we've tried to be nonprescriptive." Edelman, who served in the Pentagon from 1990 to 1993, said the current transition efforts are "light years" ahead of the 1992 changeover.
