The Confirmation could hit a snag.
More Than 200 senior military appointments are currently being held up by the US Senate in a row over abortion.
Senator Tommy Tuberville has been blocking the confirmations over a Pentagon policy that provides travel funds and support for troops and their dependents who are seeking to terminate pregnancies.
