For the first time in our nation’s history, a foreign commander is in charge of US forces.
Obama has appointed German Army Brig. Gen. Markus Laubenthal to serve as the chief of staff of USAREUR (U. S. Army in Europe) headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, who took command at the end of August 2014.
One German official stated that this would likely be the first of many such exchanges.

How can a American 3 Star General , be a Staff assistant to a German 1 Star General ??? The American General Out Ranks the German General ! Another Screwed up decision by obama ! As a Vet , I’m totally against this !!!
Old ass news…many of you need to do your own research before you judge the mutual realationship we have with our allies.

It was the German Von stuyben that trained george washingtons first continental army
and? how is that wrong to what he was put as? they can never legally become presidents(obviouslly not possible to ever happen for any foreign)
Yes, but:
Laubenthal won’t have disciplinary authority over U.S. personnel;
He will not be able to represent the command outside of the command on his own;
He won’t command U.S. forces;
He won’t have access to U.S. law-enforcement information, diplomatic communications, information related to U.S. theater security objectives and a range of other information; and
He will have access to classified information that has been cleared for disclosure
HE may do a better job then ours
