• “I think coordination has been lacking, and you’re seeing a lot more sort of cowboy behavior, which could be problematic,” Stacie Pettyjohn, a senior fellow and director of the defense program at the Center for a New American Security, said in an interview with Breaking Defense.
Article Summaries:
- Democrats are calling for a briefing on the recent El Paso incident, citing concerns over security and coordination. In a Breaking Defense interview, Stacie Pettyjohn, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, warned that the lack of coordination has led to “cowboy behavior” among responders, which could signal deeper systemic problems. Pettyjohn suggested the El Paso event may be just the “tip of the iceberg,” implying that similar lapses could exist elsewhere. The briefing aims to assess the incident’s implications and address broader security coordination gaps.
