General Randy A. George Confirmed as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army

The U.S. Army has been without a Senate-confirmed leader since August 2023 - for the first time in the nation's history.

The U.S. Senate today held a recorded vote to confirm one individual nominated by President Joe Biden to serve in a command post of the U.S. Military - specifically leading the U.S. Army, one of the country’s six branches of the armed forces.

In a 96-1 vote, General Randy A. George was confirmed as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army for a term expiring in August 2027. He has served as the Acting Chief of Staff since August 2023 - the first time in the nation’s history when the branch of the armed forces didn’t have a Senate-confirmed leader.

George has served as the Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army since August 2022. He previously served as Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense. 

Joining the U.S. Army in 1988, George has commanded the 1st Battalion of the 187th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry Division, and the I Corps.
