General Christopher Donahue to Vacate European Command

Donahue earned a reputation as a tactician with deep roots in special operations, balancing his command of U.S. personnel with the oversight of NATO land forces across the continent. His departure follows weeks of internal speculation regarding potential disagreements with the Pentagon leadership. While the U.S. Army confirmed the transition date in a brief statement on Thursday, the military has not addressed the specific nature of the reported policy disputes between the general and Secretary Hegseth.
