Fort Shafter, Hawaii — Gen. Charles A. Flynn assumed command of U.S. Army Pacific from Gen. Paul J. LaCamera in a ceremony held June 4, 2021, on Historic Palm Circle at Fort Shafter, Hawaii.
Flynn comes to Fort Shafter after serving as deputy chief of staff for U.S. Army operations, plans and training at the Pentagon. He succeeds LaCamera, who was confirmed last month by the U.S. Senate to be the next U.S. Forces Korea commanding general.
Flynn’s return to Hawaii is a homecoming, as he commanded the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks from 2014-2016 and served as U.S. Army Pacific deputy commanding general from 2016-2018.
“From the President and the Secretary of Defense to the combatant commands and the Chief, our nation’s defense leaders have directed that we must think, act, and operate differently – and in so doing – we will as history’s taught us time and again – more effectively compete, deter, and if necessary, win in the Indo-Pacific.”
Adm. John C. Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, presided over the ceremony and reflected on the significance of this command.

is it odd the Biden admin hasn’t blocked this..?After all, his brother is a deplorable Neanderthal..
Sounds like a clown.
WHO??
Michael’s younger brother..
FDR sent General MacArthur to a post in the Philippines in 1937 to keep him out of politics. This was about as far from CONUS as one could get.
This post in Korea is about the same really. A frontier post far from D.C.
if he’s a deplorable, he better watch his back. they could give you command to find an easy pretext to shiv you.
omg!!! They MUST be getting ready to SET HIM UP for FAILURE!!! NO OTHER explanation!
Good on him. Hope he’s smarter.
I certainly hope & pray that General Flynn is pro American and not proAny & Everything else.
Only time and a crisis will tell.
I’ll say it: I don’t trust that his brother is not controlled opposition. Too much too suspicious.
I worked at both places during Vietnam war. It was very laid back.
The Biteme admin is only able to do certain things....
BS. As usual.
What’s really amazing is the pro doom/n/gloomers on the thread.
Hi Q-tee Toes!
This post in Korea is about the same really. A frontier post far from D.C.
You have misread the original.
Flynn is going to Hawaii. His predecessor in Hawaii is going to Korea.
The command titles sound like the Hawaii job is the higher ranking job, ie. General Flynn will be supervising General LaCamera.
