Ann Dunwoody First Woman Four-Star General
“This is an historic occasion for the Department of Defense and I am proud to nominate Lt. Gen. Ann Dunwoody for a fourth star,” said Defense Secretary Robert Gates. “Her 33 years of service, highlighted by extraordinary leadership and devotion to duty, make her exceptionally qualified for this senior position.”

The Army Material Command handles all material readiness for the Army. During her career, Dunwoody has been assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, 10th Mountain Division and the Defense Logistics Agency. She served with the 82nd Airborne in Saudi Arabia during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
Honestly, I didn’t know that AMC was a four-star command. Indeed, while that’s a huge task, it strikes me as odd that it is; it’s part of an overall trend toward rank inflation in the armed forces. Neither George Washington nor Jack Pershing ever wore a fourth star.
Regardless, this is a historic appointment. CNN’s rundown of firsts shows how amazingly recent all of them are:
The first woman to become a general officer in the U. S. armed services was Brig. Gen. Anna Mae Hays, chief of the Army Nurse Corps, who achieved the rank in 1970 and retired the following year. Elizabeth Hoisington, the director of the Women’s Army Corps, was promoted to brigadier general immediately after Hays. She also retired the following year. Maj. Gen. Jeanne M. Holm, the first director of Women in the Air Force, was the first woman to wear two stars, attaining the rank in 1973 and retiring two years later. In 1996, Marine Lt. Gen. Carol A. Mutter became the first woman to wear three stars. Mutter retired in 1999.
Currently, there are 57 active-duty women serving as generals or admirals, five of whom are lieutenant generals or vice admirals, the Navy’s three-star rank, according to the Pentagon.
Truly remarkable.
UPDATE: An emailer points out that AMC “has been a four star position since shortly after its creation in 1962, when it was first commanded by LTG Frank Besson, who was promoted to General in 1964. It has been commanded by a four-star general since that time. I believe that among the major commands of the US Army, only three have more personnel than AMC–Forces Command, Training and Doctrine Command, and US Army Europe.”
I’m sure my biases on this matter were formed as an Army lieutenant twenty years ago; I’m not sure I’d ever heard of AMC. Further, my sense has always been that the “real” four-star commands were regional combatant commands like EUCOM and CENTCOM that oversee operational forces. It always struck me as overkill to have a four-star in charge of office workers.
4-star general is first woman to lead Pacific combat forces
Air Force Lt. Gen. Lori J. Robinson has been nominated to be the new commanding general of the Pacific Air Forces, making her the first U. S. woman four-star commander of combat forces, the Pentagon announced on Tuesday.
She replaces Gen. Herbert J. "Hawk" Carlisle who becomes the new commander of the Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va.
As commander of the Pacific Air Forces, Robinson is the air component commander for U. S. Pacific Command; and executive director of Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
Robinson is currently the vice commander, Air Combat Command, Langley Air Force Base.
Robinson entered the Air Force in 1982 through the ROTC program at the University of New Hampshire.
She served in a variety of positions as an air battle manager, including instructor and commander of the Command and Control Operations Division at the Air Force Fighter Weapons School, as well as chief of tactics in the 965th Airborne Warning and Control Squadron.
Robinson has commanded an operations group, a training wing, an air control wing and has deployed as vice commander of the 405th Air Expeditionary Wing, leading more than 2,000 Airmen flying B-1 Lancer, KC-135 Stratotanker and E-3 Sentry in Iraqi.
Robinson is the second woman four-star in the Air Force, the Defense News reported.
The Navy this week promoted its first woman to four-star rank when Adm. Michelle Howard was selected as vice chief of naval operations, Defense News reported.
The three other four-star women generals in the U. S. military are: the Army's first female four-star, Gen. Ann Dunwoody, who was named head of US Army Materiel Command in 2008 and retired from that position in August 2012 and Air Force Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger who has led the Air Force Materiel Command since June 2012.
