‘President Donald Trump has chosen Raytheon executive Mark Esper to be the next Army secretary, the White House announced Wednesday night.
Esper, who is now Raytheon’s vice president of government relations, is Trump’s third pick for the Army’s top civilian job after the first two candidates withdrew.
A Gulf War veteran, Esper is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and a 1986 graduate of West Point. He has worked for Raytheon, one of the “big five” defense contractors, since 2010.
Esper has also held senior positions at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Aerospace Industries Association.’
