The U.S. Army has stood up a new command that will merge three of its existing service level commands into a “Western Hemisphere Command.” U.S. Army North, U.S. Army South and U.S. Army Forces Command will be merged into the new command, reported the Washington Times.
The purpose of the new Western Hemisphere Command is flexibility in a complex world, said Gen. Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff. “By consolidating these headquarters and aligning the theater, we will streamline processes, eliminate redundant efforts, and free up talent and resources. This will allow us to better support our fighting formations.”
