President Barack Obama said Marine General Joseph Dunford, his choice for the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is one of the military’s best strategic thinkers as well as one of its most admired leaders.
Obama said Tuesday that he’ll nominate Dunford to replace Army General Martin Dempsey, 63, who’s completing his second two-year term as the country’s top military officer. The president also selected Air Force General Paul Selva, head of the military’s transportation command, as vice chairman.
