US Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey, who is in charge of the Southern Command (Southcom), will retire from active service in December 2025, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday. Holsey took command in November 2024, succeeding Army General Laura Richardson. Thus, his early departure is unusual, as these four-star postings typically last three to four years.
