Mr. Trump made the announcement at his Mar-a-Lago getaway in Palm Beach, Fla., where he has been interviewing candidates to replace Michael T. Flynn, who was forced out after withholding information from Vice President Mike Pence about a call with Russia’s ambassador.
The choice continued Mr. Trump’s reliance on high-ranking military officers to advise him on national security. Mr. Flynn was a retired three-star general and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is a retired four-star general. His first choice to replace Mr. Flynn, who turned the job down, and two other finalists were current or former senior officers as well.
Shortly before announcing his appointment, Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter: “Meeting with Generals at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Very interesting!”

3rd time's the charm.
Another excellent choice.
I thought he only had one since his Presidency? Who was the second or first?
Trump will groom thru all these excellent military officers. Glad to see this Irishman and Mad Dog Mattis at the helm of these positions. Makes me sleep a little better and its been hard as hell for the last 8 years.

Flynn was #1, Petraeus turned him down #2, McMaster #3. Please try to follow along, it's not that difficult since it is in the article.
