"FRANKFURT, Germany: The Pentagon has named a civilian as one of the No. 2 officials at its new Africa Command — a move that emphasizes its commitment to development and diplomacy amid unease about U.S. military involvement on the continent.
Career diplomat Mary Carlin Yates was previously an ambassador to Ghana and Burundi, and worked extensively on the Burundi peace process. She is the first senior government civilian who is not part of the Defense Department to be named to a top-level job at a U.S. military regional command."
