Early life and education

He was born in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, in 1956.[4][14] His mother, Fumiko (Ohno), was Japanese[15] and his father, LTJG Harry Binkley Harris, was a U.S. Navy machinist's mate (and later chief petty officer) when he served aboard the USS Lexington (CV-2) during the Battle of the Coral Sea.[16] After his family's move to the United States, Harris grew up in Crossville, Tennessee, and Pensacola, Florida, where he attended local public schools.[17]

Career

PACOM
commander, c. May 2015.

Harris graduated from the

U.S. Naval Academy
in 1978. He majored in general engineering and was a varsity fencer.

After flight training, he was designated as a

Desert Storm. He had three tours with Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 1/Task Force 57/Task Force 72, homeported in Kami Seya, Japan. During his earlier tours with Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 1, Harris participated in Operations Earnest Will and Southern Watch. In 1999–2000, he attended MIT Seminar XXI.[19]

In 2002, he reported to Commander,

Manama, Bahrain, serving as Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans, and Pol-Mil Affairs (N3/N5). He was responsible for the planning and execution of the Naval component's portion of Operation Iraqi Freedom
, which began on March 19, 2003.

His aviation command assignments include

U.S. Pacific Fleet

His educational assignments include selection for the Navy's

School of Foreign Service

Harris has logged 4400 flight hours – including over 400 combat hours – in U.S. and foreign maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft. He is a recipient of the

Rear Admiral Harry Harris presents Brigadier General Edward Leacock with the Defense Superior Service Medal, March 2, 2007.

In March 2006, he assumed command of

suicides
. Harris said at the time,

I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us.[23]

Harris ordered a full investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), which published its report in a heavily redacted version in August 2008.

Main article: Guantanamo Bay homicide accusations
Main article: Guantanamo Bay detention camp suicide attempts

A report, Death in Camp Delta, was published in December 2009 by the

Center for Policy & Research of Seton Hall University School of Law, under the supervision of its director, Professor Mark Denbeaux, attorney for two Guantanamo detainees, criticizing numerous inconsistencies in the official accounts of these deaths.[24][25][26]
The report suggested there had either been gross negligence or an attempt to cover up homicides of the men, perhaps due to torture under interrogation.

On January 18, 2010, Scott Horton of Harper's Magazine published a story suggesting that al-Salami, Al-Utaybi and Al-Zahrani had died as a result of accidental manslaughter during a torture session, and that the official account was a cover-up.[23] Horton had undertaken a joint investigation with NBC News, based on an account by four former guards at Guantanamo Bay detention camp. They suggested that the men had died at a black site, informally called "Camp No," used for interrogation including torture. It was located about a mile outside the regular camp boundaries.[23]

Director of Operations, U.S. Southern Command

From June 2007 to April 2008, Harris served as director of operations (J3) for

U.S. Southern Command in Miami. He led the joint planning effort for Operation Willing Spirit[27]
(the rescue of American hostages held hostage in Colombia).

Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV N6)

Harris returned to the Pentagon to serve as the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Communication Networks (OPNAV N6) and the Deputy Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (Navy) until November 2009. He was responsible for early resource sponsor decisions for the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES), Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) and Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA).

Commander, U.S. Sixth Fleet

In November 2009, Harris assumed command of the U.S.

U.S. Naval Forces Africa. In 2011, he was designated as the Joint Force Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC) for Operation Odyssey Dawn
, the U.S.-led coalition operation against Libya.

Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

In October 2011, he assumed the position of Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In this capacity, he served as the Chairman's direct representative to the

U.S. Secretary of State
. He was also the designated U.S. Roadmap Monitor for the Middle East Peace Process.

Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet

Samuel J. Locklear III

Commander, U.S. Pacific Command

ADM Harris and his wife visiting the USS Arizona Memorial, with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump in 2017.

Harris was nominated on September 22, 2014, by President

US Pacific Command.[30][31] His appointment was confirmed by the Senate on December 11, 2014.[32][33]
Harris took command of USPACOM on May 27, 2015. He regarded North Korea as the biggest threat to security in Asia, calling for diplomacy backed by military power to "bring
Kim Jong-Un to his senses; not to his knees" in pursuit of peaceful denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.[34][35][36]

In December 2016, Harris led the military commemoration activities for the 75th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Oahu. On 5 December, he paid tribute to

Shinzō Abe to render honors at the USS Arizona Memorial on 27 December. The visit – the first by a Japanese Prime Minister to the Memorial – was hailed by President Obama as "a historic gesture of reconciliation."[39] He called for the resurgence of the Quad -- the informal grouping of like-minded democracies of the U.S., Japan, Australian, and India -- at the inaugural Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi in 2016.[40] In 2017, he began publicly advocating for the renegotiation of, and potential withdrawal from, "unilaterally self-limiting treaties," including the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force (INF) Treaty. [41] [42] [43] [44]

U.S. Ambassador to South Korea

Harris is sworn in as the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, 2018

Harris was nominated by President

Ambassador to South Korea by Trump at the suggestion of newly sworn-in Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on May 23, 2018.[45][46]

Harris was confirmed by the

United States Ambassador to South Korea.[48]

One of the major issues Harris had to take forward was increasing South Korea's share of the costs for joint security responsibilities, which

President Trump wished to see increased from $830 million to about $5 billion annually.[49]

In April 2020, Harris was reportedly planning on stepping down as ambassador in the coming months.

Department of State. The tweet received criticism from the Korean press citing ROKG authorities’ comments that it was an inappropriate disclosure,[51][52] despite the purchase and delivery of the Global Hawk program having been part of the public record in both the United States [53][54] and Republic of Korea [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] since originally approved in 2012,[53]
and the fact that his tweet was previewed with the ROK Ministry of Defense.

He stepped down as ambassador in January 2021. In an interview with the Financial Times published on 5 February 2021, He said "Some of the race baiting, I was surprised by that" because of his part-Japanese background.[63]

He was awarded South Korea's Order of Diplomatic Service Merit (Gwanghwa Medal) at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on September 8, 2021. [64]

Controversy

Further information: Anti-Japanese sentiment in Korea § Politics

Some South Korean activists criticized Harris over his

Governors-General (Itō Hirobumi) during Japanese rule over Korea. Harris disagreed with the criticisms and suggested they stemmed from his Japanese heritage.[65][66] Harris shaved off his mustache in July 2020.[67][68] A CNN article written by Joshua Berlinger suggested that given Harris's ancestry, the criticism of his mustache may be due to racism.[69]

Some South Korean liberal media outlets said the controversy over his mustache was triggered by his previous remarks that ignored South Korea's sovereignty and showed similar political views to the right-wing of Japan. Harris referred to politicians around Moon Jae-in as "Jongbuk" (종북), and was later accused of acting like "Japanese colonial government" (일본 총독) by South Korean liberals. In South Korea, the term "Jongbuk" is mainly recognized as an extreme right-wing rhetoric that ultra-conservatives use to criticize liberals and progressives.[70] South Korean liberals and progressives generally support the Sunshine Policy, are skeptical of sanctions against North Korea, and are critical of Japan.[71][72]
