Reports say President Bush's new Iraq strategy is likely to be carried out by new commanders.
Media reports say the president will replace the two top generals in the region.
It was announced in December that Gen. John Abizaid would step down as top commander of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
His replacement will be Adm. William Fallon, currently the top U.S. commander in the Pacific.
Meanwhile, the commander on the ground in Iraq is also changing, with Army Lt. Gen. David Petraeus -- who at one time was in charge of training Iraqi security forces -- taking the place of Gen. George Casey.
