Army Vice Chief to Become Top Officer Under Biden Administration

President Joe Biden has nominated Gen. Randy George, the U.S. Army’s vice chief of staff, to be the service’s next chief. If confirmed by the Senate, George would succeed Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville, who will retire this summer. George is a combat-proven leader with extensive experience in force management, which will be crucial as the Army faces challenges in recruiting, modernization, and ongoing conflicts.
