Hegseth's shakeup sidelines Europe’s top US Army commander
TL;DR
US defence secretary Pete Hegseth has forced out General CD Donahue, the top US Army officer in Europe, who will retire early amid a broader purge of senior officers and a planned reorganization of Europe command; Donahue is known for his role in Ukraine support and as the last US soldier to leave Afghanistan, and his removal comes after the earlier firing of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, signaling a sweeping shake-up under Hegseth.
