Mark A. Milley

General Milley's career is marked by his ascension to the highest military office in the United States, a distinction held by only a handful of officers. He is one of the few Army officers to serve as both chief of staff of the Army and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His leadership during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and his efforts to modernize the Army for future conflicts have been widely recognized. Milley's ability to articulate strategic challenges has made him a respected voice in national security circles.
