Trump said he would nominate retired Air Force lieutenant General Razin Kane as the next chairman.
Caine is an active duty and National Guard F-16 pilot. He also recently served as the CIA's deputy director of military affairs, as his military biographies stated.

The move to nominate Kane is controversial because it does not identify important assignments identified by law as a prerequisite for work, but “the president has determined that such action is necessary in the national interest.” In that case, that requirement may be exempt.” According to the US code.
