Fort Bragg's commander is taking a new post, but he won't have to move far. Lieutenant General Daniel B. Allyn '81 was selected for appointment to the rank of four-star general and to become commanding general of Forces Command, which is based at Fort Bragg. The appointment requires congressional approval. Allyn, the commanding general of the 18th Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, has been in his current post since June 2012. A native of Berwick, Maine, and a 1981 graduate of West Point, Allyn has commanded troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. He will replace General David Rodriguez '76, who was introduced last week as the new head of U.S. Africa Command. Read more.
