Admiral Holsey's Early Retirement Amidst Latin America Tensions
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of U.S. military forces in Latin America, retired early amidst growing tensions with Venezuela. His departure follows growing frustration from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Holseys handling of military operations in the region. Holseys early retirement, though not publicly explained, has led to speculation that he may have disagreed with recent U.S. strikes on suspected drug vessels. Lieutenant General Evan Pettus has taken over as acting head of U.S. Southern Command, with Lieutenant General Frank Donovan expected to be nominated as Holseys successor. This departure is part of a series of senior officers leaving their posts since Hegseth took over the Pentagon, signaling a significant shift in foreign policy under the Trump administration.
