Defense Writers Group

Moderator: Obviously this is an incredibly special event, Defense Writers Group with General Bryan P. Fenton, the Commander of Special Operations Command. A quick reminder of ground rules. We’re on the record, as always. You can record for accuracy of quotes but there is no rebroadcast of audio or video. I’ll ask the first question. A bunch of you emailed me in advance to be put on the list. We’ll get to as many as possible in the hour. Probably can’t get to all. If there is time, we’ll go around the room. We’ll save
the last few minutes for General Fenton’s final comments. General, welcome. It’s great to have you here. I hear this is your first on the record press engagement since taking over command. Thank you for that.

General Fenton: I cannot confirm or deny.


Moderator: That’s all right. That’s all I wanted to hear.
