A high-ranking Army general is leaving his position unexpectedly. Gen. Christopher Donahue, who leads US Army forces in Europe and Africa, is stepping down. He had been in the job for 18 months.

Donahue previously made headlines for being the last US soldier to leave Afghanistan in 2021. The Army confirmed his departure late Tuesday.

Further details about Gen. Donahue's sudden departure are available from the Army, as reported by KXXV News.
