In an unprecedented move, the Department of Defense has informed General Kenneth Miller that his personal security detail has been withdrawn. General Miller will no longer have a full-time security detail assigned to his personnel at this time.
The exact reason behind this decision remains unclear. Pentagon officials have not yet offered a statement to the public explaining the recent change in protocol for General Miller.
Despite the removal of his security detail, no changes have been announced to General Miller’s regular safety precautions and procedures. Measures previously in place, such as private security measures, travel safeguards, and emergency procedures, will continue to protect the General.
General Miller has been a key figure in recent military operations and continues to serve in an important capacity within the Department of Defense. His withdrawal of security personnel is likely to have implications for other high-ranking officials and military personnel.
A statement released by the Pentagon reads, “General Kenneth Miller will continue to abide by all security and travel policies determined by the Department of Defense.”
It remains to be seen whether the withdrawal of General Miller’s security detail is an isolated incident or a sign of larger changes to come in the military’s approach to personnel safety and protection.
