#1 ...Don't know Schwartz's record, but it does make sense that they'd pull somebody from outside of the 'combat' track - because quite frankly, everybody in that chain has been tarred by the nuke mishaps.

#5 "Camp H. M. ('Howling Mad') Smith is a United States Marine Corps installation on the island of Oahu, near the community of ʻAiea. It is the headquarters of Marine Forces Pacific as well as the United States Pacific Command and Special Operations Command Pacific.

Special Operations Command Pacific (SOCPAC)is a sub-unified command and serves as the SOF component command for the U.S. Pacific Command. In October 1983, the Joint Chiefs of Staff directed the establishment of Special Operations Commands in the Pacific and European Theaters. Special Operations Command, Pacific (SOCPAC) was subsequently activated on 1 November 1983 with an initial total strength of only eighteen personnel. Six years later, on 28 December 1989, SOCPAC was assigned operational control (OPCON) of what is now the 353d Special Operations Group and 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), which are located on Okinawa, Japan at Kadena Air Base and Torii Station, respectively. On 8 July 1991, SOCPAC assumed OPCON of Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Pacific and a subordinate SEAL platoon, which are based at Apra Harbor Naval Station, Guam. In early March 2001, SOCPAC established the Joint Special Operations Aviation Component on Oahu, Hawaii. Three months later, on 11 June 2001, SOCPAC gained OPCON over E Company, 160th Special Operations Regiment (Airborne), which is based in Taegu, Republic of Korea".
