What is that based on? Have you worked at DoD? Is there research supporting it?

DoD acquisition depends much more on civilians, not uniformed officers, and then they must be part of the President's budget and, ultimately, Congress. Officers play a minor role.

Top officers select which civilians get control.

Who did and when? Can you provide any evidence. Also, the oficers often have bad relationships with the President and the National Security Advisor and staff, not to mention Congressional committees - the officers certainly wouldn't select them if they could.
