Background

edit

Three-star positions, elevations and reductions

edit
 
Maj. Gen. John E. Sterling Jr. is pinned with lieutenant general's stars by his wife Catherine and Gen. Martin Dempsey on 3 May 2010.

There were several developments relating to three-star positions of the United States Army from 2010 to 2019.

 
Lt. Gen. Joseph L. Lengyel poses with U.S. Ambassador to Iceland Robert C. Barber on 17 March 2016.
  • The office of the Army Chief Information Officer/G-6 was split into a civilian Army CIO and deputy chief of staff for cyber (G-6) in August 2020. Lieutenant General Bruce T. Crawford became the last commissioned officer to hold the unified position, retiring on 11 August 2020.[101] Major General John B. Morrison Jr. was confirmed for promotion to lieutenant general[102] and became the first deputy chief of staff for cyber (G-6) in August 2020.[103][104]

Senate confirmations

edit
 
Secretary of the Army Mark Esper administers the reaffirmation oath to newly-promoted Lt. Gen. Leslie C. Smith on 9 February 2018.

Military nominations are considered by the Senate Armed Services Committee. While it is rare for three-star or four-star nominations to face even token opposition in the Senate, nominations that do face opposition due to controversy surrounding the nominee in question are typically withdrawn. Nominations that are not withdrawn are allowed to expire without action at the end of the legislative session.

  • For example, the nomination of Major General Ryan F. Gonsalves for promotion to lieutenant general and assignment as commanding general of U.S. Army Europe was withdrawn in November 2017[111] after an investigation was launched into the general's inappropriate comment to a female Congressional staffer.[112] As a result, Gonsalves was administratively reprimanded and retired in May 2018.[112][113][114]

Additionally, events that take place after Senate confirmation may still delay or even prevent the nominee from assuming office.

Legislative history

edit

The following list of Congressional legislation includes all acts of Congress pertaining to appointments to the grade of lieutenant general in the United States Army from 2010 to 2019.[af]
