For the first time in our nation’s history, a foreign commander is in charge of US forces.
Obama has appointed German Army Brig. Gen. Markus Laubenthal to serve as the chief of staff of USAREUR (U. S. Army in Europe) headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, who took command at the end of August 2014.
One German official stated that this would likely be the first of many such exchanges.

ASSHOLE MOVE
Dunno, because it’s not truthful, messes with credibility. Chief of Staff directs the staff…there isn’t even a cmd relationship between the C o S and the Org’s staff. In the absence or disability of LTG Campbell, typically, one of his deputies assumes command temporarily, until a replacement is appointed. We’ve had multinational staffing and teaming of this sort for decades, even WWII. Not sure how it worked in Korea or WWI.
What?
This is got to be complete b******t
This is totally untrue…..In WW2 thousands of Americans, Canadians and British soldiers were under command of British General Bernard Montgomery….before, during and after D day….how quickly some forget…….Anything to ‘sell’ and sensationalize a story, thats total BS!
German officers make great staff officers. I personally watched German 12th Panzer liaison officers perform at HQ, US VII Corps, in Stuttgart, Germany, in the early to mid-1980s and they were superb. I believe this move will make NATO stronger.
Righr
Hi Hal, ummmm … not exactly. Assigning NATO officers to staff positions enhances interoperability and makes NATO stronger. I watched German staff officers while I was assigned to HQ, US VII Corps, in Stuttgart, Germany, in the early to mid-1980s and I can assure you they are absolutely superb.
Why ??
How many more days do we have left of a TRAITOR in Charge ?
Bob, I understand that, but Obama has opened our military to allow Muslims in, and they don’t have to obey the military dress code, like the rest of the military. They’ve given special treatment. Put 2 and 2 together Bob.
Obama is more concerned about Muslims, there feelings and there cause. Than the American people
