.POTUS has selected Gen Randy George, the Army’s vice chief of staff, to be the next ArmyChiefStaff. Following Senate confirmation, George would succeed Gen. James McConville, who is retiring this summer after serving a four-year term.
His nomination needs Senate confirmation, and if he gets through that process, George would succeed Gen. James McConville, who is retiring this summer after serving a four-year term.“Gen. George is honored to be considered and will wait for the results of the confirmation process before commenting on the nomination publicly,” Lt. Col. Loni Ayers, Army spokesperson, told Defense News in a statement.
The Senate received George’s nomination on April 20, one day after he testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee about the Army’s readiness. “Our Army must be ready for anything,” George told the panel's Readiness Subcommittee. “We must be ready to deter war and, if deterrence fails, to take the fight to the enemy anywhere around the globe, even in the most hostile environments, just as we've always done.”
“Our Army is also transforming because, honestly, we don’t have an option,” he added. “Warfare is changing, and we must change because of it to ensure we stay ahead of our potential adversaries.”George is a member of the U.S. Military Academy's class of 1988 and deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The four-star general served in Desert Storm as a lieutenant in the 101st Airborne Division, later deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as deputy commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade and commander of the 1st Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, and also deployed to Afghanistan as the commander of the 4th Infantry Division’s 4th Brigade Combat Team.
