US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has approved a plan to transfer authority from Army General Scott Miller to Marine Corps General Frank McKenzie, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said late Friday.
Miller is the commander of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan and the Resolute Support Mission. McKenzie is the commander of U.S. Central Command.
According to Kirby, this is all part of the safe and orderly retrograde that will have all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by the end of August well within President Joe Biden’s order.
“We expect that transfer to be effective later this month,” Kirby said.

HMS Defender â the British destroyer should be renamed âHMS Aggressorâ says Russia
LAST Wednesday, a Russian patrol ship and fighter jet fired warning shots and dropped bombs along the path of a British destroyer that had veered into Russian territorial waters off Crimea in the Black Sea.
London initially denied that any incident took place, claiming that the Royal Navy ship was merely enjoying âinnocent passageâ through âUkrainianâ waters.
In the wake of the incident, the Russian Defence Ministry has appealed to the Pentagon and the command of the UKâs Naval forces, urging them to âbe guided by reasonâ and to avoid dangerous actions that might âtestâ Russiaâs defences.
