@ Tigerclaws - Thank you for this post. Other’s — An interesting scenario.
Here is a bit from Gen Ham’s bio - Note he took command in Mar 2011, it should be a 3 year tour. He has 36 years in the Army. We’ll need to look out for an announcement of his retirement.
Carter F. Ham (born February 16, 1952) is a United States Army general, who serves as the second and current Commander, U.S. Africa Command. In that position, he has been in command of the initial 2011 military intervention in Libya.
Ham previously served as Commanding General, U.S. Army Europe and Seventh Army from August 28, 2008 to March 8, 2011. Prior to that, he served as Director for Operations (J-3) at the Joint Staff from August 2007 to August 2008 and the Commanding General, U.S. 1st Infantry Division from August 2006 to August 2007. He assumed his current assignment with the Africa Command on March 8, 2011
Should be a three year tour. He’s about a year and a half in and a week after 9/11 he’s out the door. Doesn’t sound routine.
Thanks for the ping. I hope General Ham will say what actually happened.
