Who is Christopher LaNeve, set to lead the US army?

General Christopher LaNeve is set to become acting Chief of Staff of the US Army.

His appointment comes after US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Randy George to step down from the post, which he had held since 2023.

The role is the most senior position in the Army, and office holders usually serve a four year term.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said LaNeve, who was the Vice Chief of Staff, is "a battle-tested leader with decades of operational experience and is completely trusted by Secretary Hegseth to carry out the vision of this administration without fault".
