The Army Times has some speculation on the next Chief of Staff of the Army. There are 11 generals in the Army of 4-star rank (12 if you count the current CSA). Here's the rundown.
Front-runners
- GEN Martin Dempsey, Commander of TRADOC
- GEN Ray Odierno, Commander of JFCOM
- GEN Peter Chiarelli, Vice Chief of Staff
Maybe?
- GEN JD Thurman, Commander of FORSCOM
- GEN Lloyd Austin, Commander, US Forces Iraq
- GEN Walter Sharp, Commander USFK
- GEN Carter Ham, Commander AFRICOM
- GEN William Ward, outgoing Commander of AFRICOM
Probably Not
- GEN Ann Dunwoody, Commander AMC
- GEN David Petraeus, Commander, US Forces Afghanistan
- GEN Kieth Alexander, head of the NSA
Now, there's nothing saying you can't bump up a 3-star to the top job, but it's unlikely.
