The Pentagon has nominated Lt. Gen. Kevin D. Admiral to become the next commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF), replacing Gen. Christopher Donahue who unexpectedly relinquished command in early July after only 18 months. Admiral currently commands III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas. If confirmed, he will also lead NATO's Allied Land Command, coordinating with 104 countries. The role has been downgraded from a four-star to a three-star position. Admiral previously commanded the 1st Cavalry Division and served in force management roles. Donahue's departure is part of broader senior leadership changes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has removed over a dozen senior military leaders since taking office, including the Army Chief of Staff and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
