President Bush, currently visiting the Middle East, has named Air Force Lt. Gen. William Fraser to oversee compliance with the US-backed Israeli-Palestinian peace plan known as the “roadmap,” AFP news service reported yesterday. Fraser serves currently as assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff in the Pentagon.
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
