New Defense Secretary James Mattis arrives at the Pentagon, gets to work

Mattis, wearing a dark suit and overcoat, was greeted Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as they shared a handshake and laugh. The two men have known each other for years, serving together as senior Marine Corps officers before Mattis retired as the four-star chief of U.S. Central Command in 2013.
