Not US Secretary of Defense.
Not US Secretary of Defense for Detainee affairs.
Not US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee affairs.
No, as US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee affairs.

I wonder if he himself has assistants?
Name: Don Joe
Occupation: US Under Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee affairs.
