Gen Martin Dempsey has been nominated as the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest US military post.
US President Obama made the announcement in the White House garden but it is subject to Senate approval.
Dempsey, who only just began his four-year tenure as Army chief of staff in April, will succeed Navy Admiral Mike Mullen as the president's top military adviser on 30 September.
His time in combat includes serving as the commander of the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad during the war led by then-President George W. Bush in 2003. He has also been an advisor to the Saudi military.
He also served as acting commander of the US Central Command, overseeing US military operations in the Middle East, Persian Gulf and Central Asia.

Analysts say Dempsey is expected to face questions during the Senate confirmation process about efforts to tighten defense spending, even as the Pentagon is confronted with numerous other pressing matters.
