WASHINGTON — Michele Flournoy, the most senior female Pentagon official in history, said Monday she is stepping down as chief policy adviser to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Flournoy, 51, said she feels compelled to “rebalance” her personal life after three years in one of the most demanding national-security jobs in Washington. She was the first woman to hold the post when she started in February 2009.
