WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – According to the Washington Examiner, Trump will make Kellogg chief of staff and executive secretary of the Council, while Crowley will be senior director of strategic communications.

Kellogg served in the Vietnam War, later commanded the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and was chief operating officer for the Coalition Provisional Authority that administered Iraq in the months following the 2003 US-led invasion of that country. He also has been an adviser to Trump on national-security matters.

Crowley is an author and newspaper columnist who frequently appears on Fox News Channel.

Previously announced picks for national-security posts in the incoming Trump administration are retired Marine general James Mattis as defense secretary, John Kelly as homeland-security secretary and Michael Flynn as national security adviser.
