WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he's re-enlisting Army Gen. Martin Dempsey for another term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The president also said he has asked Adm. Sandy Winnefeld to serve another term as Dempsey's vice chairman.

Obama said Dempsey and Winnefeld are "superb officers" who have led the military with "great distinction, deep conviction and absolute integrity" during the past two years. He said they have earned his trust and that of the American people.
