Ash Carter announces nominees for new army, navy chiefs

Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced two new nominees for the military's joint chiefs of staff on Wednesday, saying General Mark Milley was President Barack Obama's choice to lead the Army and Admiral John Richardson was his pick for Navy chief. The announcement came just a week after Obama nominated Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, the Marine commandant, to be the new chairman of the joint chiefs, and Air Force General Paul Selva to be the vice chairman.
