Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Ramon Colon-Lopez will be the next senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, defense officials said Wednesday.

“Our brothers and sisters in service are in the best hands possible with our newest Senior Enlisted Adviser to the Chairman,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright in a Facebook post. “I’m proud to say that Chief CZ, our SEAC #4, is a friend and an exceptional leader.”

Colon-Lopez, currently the senior enlisted leader for U.S. Africa Command, joined the Air Force in 1990 and served as an air traffic controller before becoming a pararescueman. He will replace Army Command Sgt. Maj. John W. Troxell, who has served as the SEAC since December 2015.
