As many congressional committees hold their first organizational meetings this week, Senate Armed Services officials will continue their already-started work of the new session with a pair of significant events for the military community.

On Thursday, the committee will hold a closed briefing on the Fort Hood command climate survey, with an eye towards reforms at that base and throughout the Army. The base was the site of several high-profile tragedies last year, including the killing of Pfc. Vanessa Guillen last April.

In their public work, the committee on Tuesday will consider the nomination of Kathleen Hicks to become the next deputy defense secretary. If approved, she would be the first woman ever to be voted into the post.

Also on Tuesday on the Senate side of Capitol Hill, the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee is expected to vote on the nomination of Denis McDonough to become the next Veterans Affairs secretary. His confirmation hearing was held last week, without any notable concerns from lawmakers. An exact time and location for that hearing has not yet been announced.
