Trump announced Saturday that he would nominate Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to become the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Milley, a four-star general, is being nominated to succeed current Gen. Joseph Dunford, whose second term as the nation's highest-ranking uniformed officer will end in the summer of 2019.

"I am pleased to announce my nomination of four-star General Mark Milley, Chief of Staff of the United States Army – as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing General Joe Dunford, who will be retiring," Trump tweeted Saturday morning.

"I am thankful to both of these incredible men for their service to our Country! Date of transition to be determined," he added.

Trump had teased the announcement on Friday on the eve of the annual Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, which the president is slated to attend later Saturday.

Former President Obama nominated Dunford and current Vice Chairman Gen. Paul Selva in 2015, and Trump last year renewed them for second terms.
