By Tony Bertuca / September 5, 2019 at 1:14 PM

The Senate Armed Services Committee has scheduled a Sept. 12 hearing to consider the nominations of Ryan McCarthy to be Army secretary and Barbara Barrett to be Air Force secretary.

McCarthy is currently serving as acting Army secretary and Barrett is the former chairwoman of Aerospace Corp.

The committee has yet to confirm it has received the formal nominations from the White House.

But President Trump announced his intent to nominate McCarthy for the post in July after tapping then-Army Secretary Mark Esper to become defense secretary.

Trump first announced his intent to nominate Barrett in May.
