On a recent appointment streak, Governor Greg Abbott has solidified the leadership of Texas’ military community by placing three veterans in key positions within the Texas Military Preparedness Commission. The recent move, announced on June 25th, charges John “Mark” McLean and Paul Norwood with steering elements of military strategy for the state, with terms expiring in 2027, and bestows upon Michael “Mike” Boyd the chairmanship of the entire operation. As reported by the official Governor’s website, these appointments are part of a broader objective to maintain and expand Texas’ military efficacy and appeal.
