WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s long-awaited Missile Defense Review has been delayed more than just a few times, but the under secretary of defense for policy said he’s hopeful it’s coming out very soon.
“It will be coming soon to a theater near you,” John Rood, told an audience at a Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance event on Capitol Hill Sept. 4. “Hope to have that out in the very near term, in the next few weeks, as we just are wrapping up some of the remaining items.”
The Defense Department seems to have been wrapping up the review for the better part of a year, as it was originally expected in late 2017, but was then delayed to February and again pushed back to a mid-May release.
