LaNeve to Replace General Mingus, Army Transformation Initiative Continues

The Senate has confirmed Lt. Gen. Christopher LaNeve to be the Army’s next Vice Chief of Staff, replacing Gen. James Mingus. The confirmation comes after LaNeve was nominated by the Trump administration in October for the role. According to Breaking Defense, LaNeve will help ensure the Army revives the warrior ethos and rebuilds for the modern battlefield. Maj. Peter Sulzona, a spokesperson for Mingus, stated that there are no specific dates set for LaNeve’s promotion or when he would step into the role of the Vice. This development may signal a continued focus on the Army Transformation Initiative.
