U.S. President Donald Trump has nominated the deputy commander of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) to serve as the deputy commander of U.S. Pacific Air Forces, the Pentagon said Monday.

Lt. Gen. David Iverson has been nominated for the new assignment at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, according to the Pentagon. Last month, Trump nominated Maj. Gen. David Shoemaker for promotion to lieutenant general and to serve as USFK deputy commander.

The military nomination is subject to Senate confirmation.
