Senate Confirms Promotion of 82nd Airborne Commander to Four-Star General
Dec 3, 2024, 03:01 AM
The U.S. Senate has confirmed the promotion of Army Lieutenant General Christopher Donahue to a four-star general, following a brief hold by Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin. Donahue, who commanded the 82nd Airborne Division during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, was the last American service member to leave Kabul International Airport. His promotion to lead Army Europe and Africa had faced resistance due to his involvement in the Afghanistan withdrawal, but the hold was lifted amid backlash from retired military officers and some former Trump administration officials. Senate officials confirmed the promotion on Monday.
