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 serve as commander of NATO's Allied Land Command, coordinating with 104 countries. The role has been downgraded from a four-star to a three-star position, so Admiral will remain a three-star general. 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 former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown and former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti. Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie has been serving as acting commander since Donahue's exit.
