Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael Langley is President Joe Biden’s pick to be the next commander of U.S. Africa Command, the Pentagon announced Thursday.
Biden also nominated Langley for promotion to general, and if the Senate confirms him, he would become the first Black four-star general in the Marine Corps’ 246-year history.
He would succeed Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, who has led the Stuttgart, Germany-based command since July 2019.
Langley currently heads up Marine Forces Command and Marine Forces Northern Command and is the commander of Fleet Marine Force Atlantic in Norfolk, Va. He’s been in that job only since November 2021.
During his 37-year career, Langley has commanded at every level from platoon to regiment and has served overseas in Okinawa, Afghanistan and Somalia.
