Here are the 422 military leaders finally confirmed by the Senate

After a nearly 10-month impasse over Defense Department nominations in the Senate, the chamber advanced the promotions of more than 400 officers on Tuesday , filling leadership roles across the military services.

The breakthrough came after Sen. Tommy Tuberville , R-Ala., dropped his hold on fast confirmation of the senior military members. He had been protesting the Pentagon’s decision to grant leave time and travel stipends to troops forced to travel across state lines for abortion services because of local laws.

Earlier in the day, Defense Department spokesman Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder warned that even with the promotions now approved, getting personnel into their new offices and leadership roles will take time. Individual services will be working in coming weeks to work out exactly when change of command ceremonies and personnel moves will take place.
