Donahue Steps Down as Army Leader

General Chris Donahue, who commanded U.S. Army forces in Europe and Africa and led elite units like Delta Force and the 82nd Airborne, is set to retire — a move timed with Pentagon leadership shake-ups under Secretary Pete Hegseth. His final act as commander included overseeing the last American withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. While his departure sparks questions, Donahue frames it as part of the Army’s natural evolution, signaling readiness for new leaders rather than any personal or institutional fallout.
