General Christopher Donahue, last US soldier to leave Afghanistan, resigns unexpectedly

24 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Gen Christopher Donahue, the commander of US Army forces in Europe and Africa, is stepping down after just 18 months in his role. Known for being the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan in 2021, his departure marks a significant shift in military leadership.
This change is part of a broader trend under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is advocating for a reduction in the number of high-ranking military officials.
The departure of Gen Donahue is part of a larger trend within the U.S. military, where nearly two dozen high-ranking officials have left their posts early.
Donahue's abrupt resignation raises questions about the stability and direction of military leadership during a time of significant geopolitical challenges. The push for fewer generals may streamline command structures, but it also risks losing experienced leaders who can navigate complex international relations.
