Senate Confirms Chris Donahue's Promotion to Four-Star General to Command Army Europe and Africa
Dec 3, 2024, 01:19 AM
The U.S. Senate has confirmed the promotion of Army Lt. Gen. Chris Donahue to four-star general, allowing him to take command of Army Europe and Africa. This decision comes after Senator Markwayne Mullin lifted a hold he had placed on Donahue's nomination prior to Thanksgiving. Donahue previously served as the commander of the 82nd Airborne and played a significant role in the Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021, acting as the U.S. military's liaison with the Taliban during the evacuation process. His promotion had been stalled, but the Senate's approval marks a key advancement in his military career.
