U.S. Army: Leadership Change

Gen. Christopher Donahue, commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and commander of NATO's Allied Land Command, is stepping down after 18 months in the role, effective July 2. This is part of a broader pattern under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to reduce senior military leadership positions ('less generals, more GIs').
