Fort Bragg-based FORSCOM to get its first female commander
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (WTVD) — A historic change in leadership is about to take place at Fort Bragg — the base is getting its first female Commanding General of U.S. Army Forces Command.
Army General Robert B. “Abe” Abrams, the current commander on base, will leave the Army post to become commander of United States Korea.
He will relinquish command to Lieutenant General Laura J. Richardson, who will be the first female Army officer to officially hold that position.
Richardson had been serving as the deputy commanding general of the United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and will now serve as acting commander.
