FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Senate has confirmed a general's assignment as the next commander at Fort Hood.
Maj. Gen. Mark A. Milley was confirmed Monday as the next commander of III Corps at the Central Texas post. He will formally assume his new command Dec. 20.
Milley will also be promoted to lieutenant general that day.
