Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey, who led military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, will retire in December 2025 after less than a year in command.
Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey, commander of U.S. Southern Command, will retire in December after less than a year in the role, the Pentagon announced.
Holsey, a 37-year Navy veteran, led military operations in the Caribbean and Latin America, including deadly strikes against suspected drug-trafficking vessels off Venezuela.
The recent operations, part of an intensified counter-narcotics campaign, have drawn bipartisan criticism over legal and ethical concerns, with the administration classifying cartels as unlawful combatants to justify military force.
No successor has been named, and the Pentagon provided no explanation for the sudden departure, which coincides with heightened regional tensions and military deployments.
