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.

Agree with Rob He is the chief of staff, no in a command position. There was a German that was deputy at the ADA school at Bliss. All you people need to educate yourselves. Chill.
Von Steuben trained and commanded colonial American troops during the Revolutionary war. Technically he was a Prussian but German none the less. He was also responsible for the color blue in our uniforms which lasted until the Indian wars and is still in use certain army dress uniforms

so wrong in so many ways
Lets try replacing D.C. with a gov’t that functions, from Germany. they have factories that produce the highest quality STUFF, they have a gov’t that listens to it’s citizens, they have a gov’t that keeps it’s infrastructure in top condition, they have educated people, we could learn a LOT from a German society, what we have now is a devolving mess. remember in the 1800’s German immigrants where the #1 and our country prospered, more GERMAN, less all else. They probably invented it, and perfected it!
What the $#%&!@* is going on??? We the people wake up, its time to take back our country and exile the top layer of this government

“Going by so many of the comments on this article you can tell who has never served or worked with the military. Ignorance and stupidity is on grand display here.
1) Brigadier General Laubenthal is not commanding US forces. He is going to be the Chief of Staff for US Army Europe. He is in charge of the staff officers, and responsible for coordination activities with host-nation forces. Essentially he is a high-powered secretary.
2)He is a Brigadier General , the lowest of flag rank in almost all armies of the world. Do any of you retards think a Brigadier General would be in charge of a continental force?
3) Obama did not appoint him to this position. BGEN, while a higher rank than I ever made, is still below the concern of the President. The only time the president should get involved with personnel matters is at the corps level and above. That is three star rank and higher.
4) BGEN Laubenthal will not be in charge of any combat forces, or any US personnel for that matter unless they are on staff. There are TWO US generals above him. Those guys have operational control.
5) By the way, Obama is not getting rid of 500 majors. The US Army is getting rid of 500 majors. PERSCOM is determining who gets the axe, not Obama.
Look, I do not like the president anymore than a lot of you, but at least make sure your criticism is real, and grounded in truth.”
