U.S.Aland forceGeneral Christopher Cavoli, the European commander, received his fourth star as the military branch planned to merge it with the African Army.

Gen. Cavalli was promoted to his fourth star yesterday. "I am very excited for him and his family, he is a very talented officer

Kavori was nominated for promotion earlier this year, and the Senate confirmed the promotion on September 30th. He has been serving as the European Commander of the US Army since January 2018.

McCarthy said that the United Statesland forceIt is deemed 'necessary' to elevate 'US Army Europe' to a four-star commander. That's why we advocate and strive to achieve this, because in his capacity as the United Statesland forceThe European Commander, he is the Commander of the Joint Forces Land Command. If a war breaks out on the African continent, this official will lead everyone under the umbrella of NATO members

U.S.Aland forceThe Pacific Command is the only Army Command with a four-star cube, which received its fourth star when it was succeeded by General Vincent Brooks in 2013.

The army, while elevating its command to four-star square billets, "merged" European and African armies, which McCarthy said was a "significant administrative task".

This is a merger of two entities, so you need to look at where synergy can be found, where redundancy can be found, and make adjustments accordingly. For General Cavalli, this is a huge responsibility, but he clearly has a responsibility, "McCarthy added.

The headquarters of the European Army is located in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the headquarters of the African Army is located in Vincenca, Italy. McCarthy did not say whether this meant merging the physical headquarters, but when asked if he would keep the physical headquarters in Germany, he said he would.

It is still unclear how the African leadership of the US Army will handle it. Major General Andrew Rohling took office in July. He previously served as the Deputy Commander in Chief of the European Division of the United States Army.

Restoring the Commander in Chief of the US Army in Europe to a four-star rating is an important signal of our allies' commitment to the United States and the importance of Europe in our strategic thinking, "former Army General Major General Ben Hodges, Commander in Chief of the US Army in Europe, told Defense News on October 8th.

Hodges added, "Fortunately, the Army has the right officers... to take on new roles." "He is a strategic thinker, decisive leader, and staunch transatlantic advocate who values our allies and partners

The merger was carried out after the Trump administration planned to evacuate 12000 soldiers from Germany. There are few details about what will be moved out and when it will be moved out.

Another driving force of the government is to consolidate the US European and African commands, but House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) expressed opposition on October 7th at a virtual event on US security projects.

The command centers in Europe and Africa combine air and naval forces.
