据多名知情人士透露，美国陆军欧洲和非洲司令部司令克里斯·多纳休将军已提交退役申请，这是特朗普第二任期内又一位离职的高级军官。
多名消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，多纳休曾与国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟发生过冲突。
美国陆军在一份声明中证实，多纳休将于7月2日“移交指挥权”。他的副手、少将克里斯托弗·诺里将“代理司令职务”。
“陆军感谢多纳休将军对美国陆军欧洲和非洲司令部的领导，”陆军发言人说道。
多纳休毕业于西点军校，曾任三角洲部队指挥官及第82空降师师长。他曾在2021年牵头负责阿富汗首都喀布尔的撤离安保工作，并因成为最后一名撤离喀布尔的美国士兵——在登上最后一架离开喀布尔的美军飞机前，他是驻阿富汗的最后一名地面美军——而广为人知。
次年乌克兰遭遇俄罗斯全面入侵时，多纳休是首批抵达欧洲协助乌克兰武装力量的高级军官之一。他因在为乌军提供咨询、帮助其熬过战争第一年的过程中发挥关键作用而闻名。
消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，长期以来外界普遍认为多纳休最终会出任陆军参谋长，并还将在军中服役数年。他即将离职的消息让一些一直敬仰他的军方成员感到十分意外。
曾在奥巴马政府及首届特朗普政府期间担任打击伊斯兰国联盟特别总统特使的布雷特·麦格克告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“克里斯·多纳休是击败ISIS的最大功臣之一。他是他那一代最具影响力的指挥官之一。”
退役陆军将军、美国特种作战司令部前司令托尼·托马斯如此评价多纳休：“他是一代领军人物，是有史以来最优秀的指挥官之一。”
一位同事形容多纳休“毫无疑问是我国最优秀的军官之一”，是“一位大胆且富有创新精神的领导者，既能与最资深的特种作战士官建立良好关系，也能受到普通士兵的尊敬”。
《大西洋月刊》最先报道了多纳休的离职消息。
哥伦比亚广播公司已联系军方寻求置评。

自特朗普重新就职以来，已有其他多名高级军官离开联邦政府。
赫格斯瑟在4月份要求陆军参谋长兰迪·乔治将军——陆军最高军衔军官——辞职，领导运输与训练司令部及牧师团的陆军军官也被解职。海军副中将肖莎娜·查特菲尔德也于4月被免去其作为美国军方驻北约军事委员会代表的职务。
参谋长联席会议主席——空军将军查尔斯·Q·布朗——与海军作战部长丽莎·弗兰切蒂海军上将以及空军副参谋长詹姆斯·斯莱夫将军一同于2025年2月被解职。在此前不久，海岸警卫队司令琳达·法根海军上将被解雇。
美国南方司令部司令、海军上将阿尔文·霍尔西也于去年年底退休。
Gen. Chris Donahue set to retire as Army commander in Europe and Africa, in latest departure by top military official

Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, has submitted his retirement papers, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation, marking the latest high-level officer to leave the military during the second Trump administration.
Donahue had clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, multiple sources told CBS News.
The U.S. Army confirmed in a statement that Donahue will “relinquish command” on July 2. Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, his deputy, will “perform the duties of the commanding general.”
“The Army thanks Gen. Donahue for his leadership of U.S. Army Europe and Africa,” an Army spokesperson said.
Donahue is a West Point graduate, former Delta Force commander and former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division. He helped lead security for the evacuation of the Afghan capital of Kabul in 2021, and was perhaps best known for being the last American soldier on the ground in Afghanistan, before boarding the final U.S. aircraft departing Kabul.
The following year, as Ukraine faced a full-scale Russian invasion, Donahue was among the first senior officers on the ground in Europe to assist the Ukrainian armed forces. He was known for playing a pivotal role in advising the Ukrainians and enabling them to survive the first year of the war.
It had long been thought that Donahue would eventually be chief of staff of the U.S. Army and would be in the military for a handful of years, sources told CBS News. News of his coming departure has hit hard for some members of the military who have long looked up to Donahue.
Brett McGurk, who served as special presidential envoy to the counter-Islamic State coalition during the Obama and first Trump administrations, told CBS News: “There are few people more responsible for the defeat of ISIS than Chris Donohue. He is among the most consequential commanders of his generation.”
Retired Army Gen. Tony Thomas, former commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, said of Donahue: “Generational leader. One of the best ever.”
A colleague described Donahue as “unequivocally one of our Nation’s best,” and a “bold, innovative leader who could also relate to and was respected by both the most experienced special operations [non-commissioned officers] and ordinary soldiers.”
The Atlantic was first to report Donahue’s departure.
CBS News has reached out to the military for comment.

Several other high-profile military officials have departed the federal government since President Trump’s return to office.
Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George— the Army’s top uniformed officer — to step down in April, and the Army officers who led the Transportation and Training Command and the Chaplain Corps were removed from their roles. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield was also removed in April from her position as the U.S. military representative to NATO’s military committee.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown — was ousted in February 2025, along with Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife. Shortly before that, Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan was fired.
The head of the U.S. military’s Southern Command, Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey, also retired at the end of last year.
