Senate members late Tuesday confirmed Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Nordhaus<\/a> as the next chief of the National Guard Bureau, filling the key leadership role after a nearly two-month vacancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nordhaus\u2019 promotion was accompanied by the confirmation of three other senior military posts: Navy Vice Adm. Alvin Holsey to be head of Southern Command; Air Force Lt. Gen. Randall Reed to be head of Transportation Command<\/a>; and Army Lt. Gen. Xavier Brunson to be head of U.S. Forces Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All four were approved without objection from any members. The men all received strong support during earlier confirmation hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee and are expected to be sworn into the new roles in coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
