U.S. Air Force General Lori Robinson has been selected as the next head
of the U.S. military’s Northern Command, which would make her the first
woman to head a U.S. combatant command, U.S. Defence Secretary Ash
Carter said on Friday March 18,2016
The position, which is subject to Senate confirmation, is one of the
most senior in the U.S. military and would make Gen. Robinson — who now
leads U.S. air forces in the Pacific — the top general overseeing
activities in North America.
“General Robinson, it just so happens, would also be the first ever
female combatant commander,” Mr. Carter told an event in Washington
hosted by Politico.
President Barack Obama has nominated the first female in US military history to lead a combatant command.
