In a stunning admission Jan. 5 from the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland last Monday.
Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Austin was admitted for “complications following a recent elective medical procedure.” He did not say what medical procedure Austin had received.
“He is recovering well and is expecting to resume his full duties today. At all times, the Deputy Secretary of Defense was prepared to act for and exercise the powers of the Secretary, if required." (DoD 01/05/24)
