Key Army general relinquishing command

Source: ABC News

One of the Army's most seasoned and high-profile officers is abruptly relinquishing command next week, according to the service.

Gen. Chris Donahue has spent the past 18 months leading U.S. Army Europe and Africa, the command responsible for Army operations across both continents. He will relinquish command halfway through what is normally a three-year assignment.

"Gen. Christopher Donahue, commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and commander of NATO's Allied Land Command, will relinquish command on July 2, 2026," an Army spokesperson said in a statement. "The Army thanks Gen. Donahue for his leadership of U.S. Army Europe and Africa."

His departure comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presses ahead with a sweeping overhaul of the Pentagon's senior ranks, firing or sidelining large numbers of top officers with little public explanation, including the Army's top officer Gen. Randy George.

Probably will be replaced by one of Hegseth's drinking buddies.
