The Pentagon has picked General James Mattis as the new head of Central Command.
If confirmed, Mattis will replace General David Petraeus in overseeing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq along with US military operations across the Middle East.
Mattis oversaw US troops at the bloody battle of Fallujah in Iraq, and led the first conventional forces in the invasion of Afghanistan.
The Centcom chief role is more statesman than warrior though, and the general was reprimanded in 2005 for publicly saying "it's fun to shoot people".

It's fun to kill Afghans
The disclosure of the statements by a US General who had said its fun to kill Afghans has turned into a problem for the US army.
The US military, still recovering from the shock of the sacking of General Stanley McChrystal, its top commander in Afghanistan -- is facing fresh problems over revelations that another top commander declared that it was "fun to shoot people" in Afghanistan.
Mattis has been named as head of US central Command.
He has said at a seminar in 2005: "Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. Apparently no humanity has remained in Afghanistan. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
