Williams, who is the superintendent of West Point, would be nominated for a fourth star if he’s approved, and it would make him the first black general to hold the position, Politico reports. He is the first black general to lead the academy.

Tod D. Wolters, the head of U.S. European Command, said he believes more U.S. troops will be required in Europe over the long term.Lt. Gen. Michael Langley was recently nominated to lead U.S.
