The New Jersey-born and bred Odierno, an imposing (6-ft. 5-in.) leader whom the troops call "General O", spent 15 months as Petraeus's number two during the implementation of the surge. His new job will include advising the next President on if and when to pull out U.S. troops from Iraq. At a press conference earlier this year, he touted a "conditions-based" approach to withdrawal.
