U.S. Army Gen. Andrew P. Poppas, outgoing U.S. Army Forces Commanding General, embraces Gen. Joseph A. Ryan, incoming U.S. Army Western Hemisphere Command Commanding General, at Fort Bragg, N.C., Dec.5, 2025. The embrace highlighted the continuity of leadership as Ryan prepares to take charge of the Army’s newest major command. The U.S. Army Western Hemisphere Command serves as the Theater Army for both U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Southern Command. This newly activated command unifies U.S. Army Forces Command, U.S. Army North, and U.S. Army South as the Army Service Component Command for the Western Hemisphere. Its missions include homeland defense, crisis response, regional security cooperation, and defense support to civil authorities, while also serving as the Army's immediate response force for the region.
