Another Top General Is Out At the Pentagon
General Chris Donahue, who led U.S. Army forces in Europe and Africa and was the last U.S. soldier to leave Afghanistan in 2021, is being removed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as part of a broader purge of senior military leaders. Hegseth is reshaping the military’s leadership, targeting those associated with the Afghanistan withdrawal and consolidating commands, including downgrading the Army’s European and African command.
