Washington, December 10 (Xinhua) — The Pentagon activated the U.S. Army's Western Hemisphere Command (West-Hemcom) after the White House released its National Security Strategy document, the U.S. Department of Defense said in a press release on Wednesday.
The command consolidated the U.S. Army Command, U.S. Army North, and U.S. Army South into a single four-star operational headquarters, according to a release. It also noted that the activation ceremony took place on December 5 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Army General Joseph Ryan, who previously served as the U.S. Army's deputy chief of staff for operations, plans, and training, has assumed command of West-Hemcom, the statement said.
"The newly created command is the theater operations headquarters, overseeing all Army plans, postures, operations, and force movements in support of the U.S. Northern and Southern Commands. It operates in accordance with national strategic priorities," the statement reads.
If all conditions are met, West-Hemcom is expected to achieve full operational capability by the summer of 2026, the release said. –0–
