Army
-4/5 (I forgot MG Gavin Lawrence but I would've predicted Deputy Commanding General, Chief of Staff, US Army Materiel Command).
Air Force:
-4/5 (I did not predict Maj. Gen. Downs would become Associate Director for Military Affairs of the CIA since most people who've held that role came from a special forces background, not intelligence.
-Navy:
TBD at this time but given Maj. Gen. Pettus becoming Military Deputy Commander, United States Southern Command, I imagine I'm correct on VADM Holsey.

This might shed some light into these nominations. General Officer Announcements - July 24, 2024, and Flag Officer Announcements - July 24, 2024 Neovu79 (talk) 01:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPMen, Neovu79, and KingEdinburgh: Possibility that MG Joseph Jarrard will be nominated as the next vice chief of the National Guard Bureau. This could mean the first two-star > four-star promotion in years. SuperWIKI (talk) 16:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could very well be. Neovu79 (talk) 17:26, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SuperWIKI Wouldn't surprise me at all. Fun fact, I once met a Georgia Army National Guard Colonel who had served as his Executive Officer. Their whole family is a big deal. Obviously his twin brother (James Jarrard) is an Army Lieutenant General. Another brother John K. "Kevin" Jarrard is United States Marine Corps Reserve Brigadier General. And yet another brother, Stacy Jarrard, is Sheriff of Lumpkin County, Georgia (the guy I met who was MG Joseph Jarrard's Executive Officer confirmed that the Sheriff was his brother).

MG Angle and MG Pepin

[edit]

On the GOMO website, I noticed that MG Angle is currently serving as "Special Assistant to the Commanding General, United States Army Europe-Africa/ Commander, Allied Land Command with duty in Belgium". And MG Allan M. Pepin is currently serving as "Special Assistant to the Commanding General, Installation Management Command, Joint Base San Antonio, Texas".

For MG Angle, this makes me think he will be nominated to succeed LTG Fletcher as Commander of NATO Special Operations HQ. And for MG Pepin, it makes me think he will be nominated to succeed LTG Evans as Commander of US Army North. Evans has already retired and while Fletcher has not yet retired, he has been in his role since 2021.

Let's see if I call this before the nominations are even sent.

Evans is retiring in October. SuperWIKI (talk) 05:03, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SuperWIKI He's already listed as "GOMO Transition" which means he's probably taking terminal leave till an official retirement date in October. @SuperWIKI EPMen (talk) 19:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SuperWIKI I can confirm that Evans already retired. https://www.dvidshub.net/image/8586948/maj-gen-scott-m-sherman-assumes-command-army-north EPMen (talk) 16:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surprised. He was my pick for EUCOM Deputy. Now I don't even know who to expect for that. https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2024-09-20/6th-fleet-navy-ishee-anderson-15242429.html

[edit]

Finally got around to updating the four-star legislative histories. Thanks for getting me started.
