In a formal ceremony led by Ministry of Defense Agustin Rossi, General Ricardo Cundom takes on as Chairman of Argentina's Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing outgoing Lieut.General Cesar Milani. Milani retires claiming personal reasons after two years in charge, but accusations pointing to his alleged involvement in forced disappearances during the last military dictatorship may have forced the decision in an election year in which President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner doesn't want to leave any loose ends. General Ricardo Cundom comes with a clean record and a good reputation gained over the years, starting with his participation during the 1982 Malvinas/Falklands War.
