George's opening statement at his confirmation hearing to be chief of staff of the Army Recorded 12 July 2023
Randy Alan George[1] (born 1 November 1964)[2] is a United States Army general who has served as the 41st chief of staff of the United States Army since 21 September 2023,[3] having served in an acting capacity from 4 August 2023.[4] He most recently served as the 38th vice chief of staff of the United States Army from August 2022 to September 2023, and previously served as the senior military assistant to the United States Secretary of Defense.[5][6][7][8][9]
Born and raised in Alden, Iowa, George is the son of Robert and Lorraine George.[10] He served as an enlisted soldier before beginning attendance at the United States Military Academy in 1984.[11] George graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1988.[10] He later received a master's degree in economics from the Colorado School of Mines and a master's in international security studies from the Naval War College.[7]
George's nomination to be Army chief of staff was among those delayed by Senator Tommy Tuberville's hold over opposition to DOD's abortion policy.[12] Having been confirmed via standalone vote on 21 September, George was sworn in on the same day via phone by Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth while visiting soldiers of the 11th Airborne Division in Alaska.[13][14]
