At any facility of any size the commander will be a General Officer. Whose career is directly controlled by the COC.
It's a step in the right direction with little to no short term improvement.
My experience (albeit some time ago) is that flag and general officers are politicians by necessity. Also the military tends to instill a strong belief in the power and authority of the federal government over its citizens. More so for officers. This was a prime reason for the Founders adding the 2nd amendment and their concept of the Militia therein. Anti-Federalists and the Federalists were both very suspicious of the power of a standing Federal army.
