President-elect Barack Obama named former Los Angeles Assemblyman Louis Caldera as the director of the White House Military Office earlier this week.
Caldera, a Democrat, previously served in the Clinton administration in multiple roles, including as Secretary of the Army.
"Louis has served his country with distinction in uniform and in government, and his pedigree is second-to-none. I know he'll bring to the White House the same dedication and integrity that have earned him the highest praise in every post, from Secretary of the Army to university president," Obama said in the press release announcing the appointment.
