The Pentagon is now on its fifth civilian leader in charge of special operations forces in less than three years.
Ezra Cohen is currently performing the duties of the assistant secretary of defense of special operations and low-intensity conflict, said Pentagon spokesman Michael Howard.
Cohen replaces Chris Miller, who was sworn in as director of the National Counterterrorism Center on Monday. Miller had been in the post for just under two months. His predecessor, Thomas Alexander, left the Pentagon in June to join the Office of Management and Budget.
