Gen. Mark Milley, who is retiring after more than 40 years in the military, will be succeeded as Joint Chiefs chairman by Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr.
President Biden is scheduled to participate in the event at Joint Base Meyer-Henderson Hall in Virginia alongside other administration and Defense Department officials.
Milley’s sometimes tumultuous four-year tenure caps a career that spanned over 43 years. His was one of the most consequential and polarizing tenures of any senior military leader in recent memory. He was atop the Pentagon during the Trump administration’s chaotic final months, the Biden administration’s frantic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ongoing effort to aid Ukraine as Russia’s full-scale invasion draws closer to the two-year mark.Milley frequently voiced his opinion on hot-button issues, notably defending a policy, implemented after the U.S. Capitol riot, that required military personnel to study domestic extremism.
“My presence in that moment, and in that environment, created the perception of the military involved in domestic politics,” Milley said at the time.
