Douglas Abbott Macgregor (born January 4, 1947) is an American retired colonel, government official, author, consultant, and political commentator.[1]
Macgregor was a leader in an early tank battle in the Gulf War[2] and was a top planner in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.[3] His 1997 book Breaking the Phalanx argued for radical reforms inside the United States Army.[4]
After leaving the military in 2004, Macgregor became more politically active. In 2020, president Donald Trump proposed him as the U.S. ambassador to Germany, but the U.S. Senate blocked the nomination. On November 11, 2020, a Pentagon spokesperson announced that Macgregor had been hired to serve as senior advisor to the acting secretary of defense,[5] a post he held for less than three months. Trump also appointed him to the board of the U.S. Military Academy, but the appointment was terminated by president Joe Biden in 2021.[6] Macgregor has contributed to Fox News and has appeared on the Russian state-funded channel RT.[7] His commentary has been noted for disparaging Ukraine, immigrants and refugees.[8][9][7] As of March 2024, he is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.
