Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Sasha Baker is set to step down from her Pentagon role at the end of April, ending her time there at about the nine-month mark.
Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder announced Ms. Baker’s resignation at a press briefing on Monday afternoon. The Pentagon spokesman said Amanda Dory, a career civil servant currently working as the director of the Africa Center for Strategic Studies at National Defense University, will assume the duties of the under secretary of defense for policy.
