President-elect Trump has chosen retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg as chief of staff and executive secretary of the National Security Council and Monica Crowley as senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, a transition source tells Washington Examiner.
Trump’s transition officially announced the appointments Thursday afternoon.
“The United States is an exceptional country and these are two exceptional individuals who have agreed to fulfill the president-elect’s pledge of putting America first once again,” Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security advisor-designate, said in a statement. “I am honored to have General Kellogg and Dr. Crowley on the National Security Council team.”
The appointment of Kellogg, a Vietnam veteran who later commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and has served as a national security adviser for Trump, would bring to four the number of retired high-ranking officers on Trump’s team. Kellogg also served as the chief operation officer for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq in 2003.
