The Pentagon is losing another senior military leader as Gen. Christopher Donahue prepares to retire from the Army after leading U.S. Army forces in Europe and Africa.
Donahue, who also serves as commander of NATO’s Allied Land Command, will step down July 2 after approximately 18 months in the role, Fox News confirme
The Army said Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, Donahue’s deputy, will assume command responsibilities following his departure.
According to Fox News, Donahue submitted his retirement paperwork at the request of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
His departure makes him the latest senior military leader to leave the Pentagon as Hegseth continues an effort to reduce the number of top-ranking officers while shifting additional resources toward enlisted service members.
