Christopher Cavoli, the current commander of U.S. Military Europe, will consider command of all NATO forces in Europe — a force that comprises some 100,000 U.S. troops as well as a further 40,000 from NATO allies — this summer time immediately after Air Force Gen. Ted Wolters rotates out of the role. Wolters’ phrase as commander was prolonged so he could oversee NATO’s initial response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Army Lt. Gen. Bryan Fenton will swap retiring Gen. Richard Clarke as head of U.S. Distinctive Operations Command, which “oversees specific functions all-around the world,” in accordance to the Journal.
