15 years ago? >> so, this is an algaze, and it's just an allegation that never merited a formal investigation by the military. here are the facts of the allegation or i shouldn't say facts. here is the outline of the allegation by a former green beret who wrote a 2011 "new york times" best seller and the incident was included in there. he says that when green beret and army special forces came under fire in afghanistan, it was friendly fire, that was determined later. they didn't know it at he says that during that incident, they put out a call for help for distress signals that u.s. troops were down. mattis was the closest commander. he was about 45 minutes away on helicopter. mattis did not respond to that request for help because he didn't know the situation there was. the help ended up coming about three hours away from an air force base that came from three hours away. mattis has never formally responded to these charges.

charges, and when we reached out to him as well as the author of the book, mattis has never given his version of the events. it is an allegation that's out there. and i suspect he'll come under increased scrutiny in this potential interesting two-part confirmation process because he has normal confirmation and also -- >> speaking of the confirmation process. this is supposed to be a civilian post. what is it going to take for him to be confirmed? >> first off, the change of the 1947 law. it w in the senate. it's filibusterable there. and the house will be a straight vote. then a normal straight up or down 50-vote confirmation hearing, confirmation vote in the senate. >> hans nichols, thank you very much, reporting from the pentagon. >> we'll have more exclusive reporting on what's ahead for the trump transition, including the cost of protecting the president. that's on nightly news with lester holt at 7:00 right here on nbc 4.
