LTG Richardson Takes Command of FORSCOM
The Army’s largest command has a new leader, and for the first time in history it is a woman.
Lt. Gen. Laura J. Richardson, an aviator once featured on the cover of Time magazine in a story about mothers going to war, became U.S. Army Forces Command acting commanding general on Oct. 16. She had been deputy commanding general but was tapped to fill the top job when Gen. Robert B. Abrams relinquished command to take a new post heading U.S. Forces Korea in early November.
