Pentagon's Top Defeat-ISIS Official Resigns

CNN: Pentagon shake-up continues as another top official departs 

The top official leading the Pentagon's Defeat-ISIS Task Force resigned Monday, becoming the latest senior official to be fired or asked to resign in recent days, part of a White House-directed post-election purge that saw some of the senior-most Defense Department civilians ousted in a matter of days. 

"Today, Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller accepted the resignation of Christopher Maier, the Director of the DoD Defeat-ISIS Task Force," a Pentagon spokesman said in a statement. 

Maier had led the task force since its inception in March 2017. 

The task force was responsible for overseeing policy and strategy development as well as international negotiations pertaining to the fight against ISIS.
