By: FEDweek StaffPresident Biden has nominated Gen. Randy George to succeed Gen. James McConville as the next Army chief of staff. George, now serving as the vice chief of staff, would assume the role as the service’s top military leader if confirmed by the Senate.
The Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) reported that George – originally from Alden, Iowa – held numerous posts during his career, since being commissioned after graduating from West Point in 1988. Stints include: a tour as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s senior military assistant, I Corps commander at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, and commander of the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson, Colorado. He served as a brigade commander with the 4th Infantry Division, leading the unit during combat operations in Afghanistan.
An AUSA report noted that George offered testimony before the House Armed Services readiness subcommittee shortly before he was nominated.
“Our Army must be ready for anything,” he told lawmakers. “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.”
