Leaf in Charge: Adm. William Fallon on March 12
relinquished command of US Pacific Command, leaving it in the hands of Air Force Gen. Daniel Leaf, PACOM deputy commander. Fallon’s presumed successor, Adm. Timothy Keating, current head of NORAD and US Northern Command,
faced the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 8 but has yet to be confirmed by the Senate. Fallon is on his way to
lead US Central Command.
