Brussels: NATO on Monday appointed Rose Gottemoeller as deputy head of the US-led alliance, the first woman to hold the post, a statement said.
Gottemoeller is a career US diplomat whose **mination to the NATO post in March by President Barack Obama ran into stiff Republican criticism that she was too soft on Russia.
"I am delighted to an**unce the appointment of Rose Gottemoeller, who will bring to NATO a wealth of experience in international security policy, and in areas such as arms control and relations with Russia," alliance head Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement.
Stoltenberg said the appointment of the first woman to the deputy post was a "milestone" for NATO.
The Ukraine crisis and Russia´s 2014 annexation of Crimea have plunged relations into a deep freeze, with NATO responding by launching a major revamp to counter a more assertive Moscow.
Gottemoeller, currently Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, will replace Alexander Vershbow, a**ther career US diplomat, in October.
