During his confirmation hearing, Navy Vice Admiral James “Sandy” Winnefeld Jr. told a Senate committee on April 15 that if confirmed to head U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command, he will work to build and maintain the command’s relationships he called critical to the mission. Those relationships include the militaries of Canada and Mexico.
“I’ve observed that there are no other combatant commands where support for their partners [is] more important than these two,” Winnefeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “My assignments have prepared me for this task.”
