Hegseth Cuts Army Commander’s Storied Career Short

Wall Street Journal: “Rising to four stars in 2024, Gen. Chris Donahue was made the top U.S. Army commander in Europe, where he helped overhaul NATO’s effort to defend against Russian aggression and support Ukraine. To many, he seemed to be on a fast track to become vice chief of staff of the Army and perhaps one day lead the service itself.”

“Instead, Donahue will relinquish his U.S. command at a ceremony in Germany on July 2, people familiar with the matter say, his European assignment cut short by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s push to put his imprint on the military’s leadership.”
