General Christopher Donahue has relinquished command in Europe and Africa after 18 months in post as Pentagon reviews proceed.
Gen. Christopher Donahue is relinquishing his command of U.S. Army Europe and Africa on July 2, as part of a broader shake-up led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to trim senior ranks. His deputy Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie will oversee duties in the interim. Donahue’s departure follows praise for his handling of Afghanistan evacuation and comes as the Army weighs downgrading Europe/Africa from four-star to three-star command amid NATO considerations.
