US Army General Promoted To Four-Star Officer

U.S. Army previews NATO exercises in Grafenwoehr

An Army general overseeing the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Chris Donahue, has been promoted to a four-star officer after a Republican senator lifted a hold on his nomination. The Senate confirmed Donahue as the commander of US Army Europe-Africa by unanimous consent, with no objections from any senator.

Donahue, currently commanding the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Liberty in North Carolina, played a crucial role in the final withdrawal from Afghanistan. He was the last US soldier on the ground at Kabul’s international airport, symbolizing the end of a 20-year war and a tumultuous evacuation that resulted in the tragic deaths of 13 US troops in a suicide bombing.
