North Devon MP Nick Harvey has joined the Liberal Democrat front bench as defence spokesman.
Leader Sir Menzies Campbell announced the appointment on Wednesday. Falmouth MP Julia Goldsworthy is shadowing the Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
However, St Ives MP Andrew George has lost his position on international development.
Truro and St Austell MP Matthew Taylor said he was offered a post but turned it down to stand as deputy leader.
Commenting on his new position Mr Harvey said: "I am delighted with this portfolio and relish the challenge.
"We now have a bright new team of MPs on the frontbench and I look forward to working with colleagues towards a great future for the Liberal Democrats."
Matthew Taylor, the most experienced Lib Dem MP in the South West, has revealed he will be standing for election as deputy leader in the next month.
