Gen. Chris Donahue announced his retirement on June 23 as commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and NATO's Allied Land Command, @sentdefender reported. The announcement was made at the request of the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to people familiar with the matter.
Donahue previously led the Army's Delta Force commandos in Iraq and Syria during operations against Islamic State militants. He was the last man out when the 82nd Airborne Division troops he commanded secured the 2021 evacuation of U.S. personnel and Afghan allies from Kabul, Afghanistan.
His removal forms part of an ongoing push by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to put his imprint on the military's leadership, @sentdefender reported.
