この指名により、アイバーソン氏はハワイのパールハーバー・ヒッカム統合基地に配属されることになる。アイバーソン氏は2024年1月から韓国で要職を歴任してきた。その役割には、在韓米軍副司令官、第7空軍司令官、韓米連合軍司令部傘下の空軍構成軍司令官が含まれる。先月、トランプ大統領はデビッド・シューメーカー少将を中将に昇進させ、次期在韓米軍副司令官に任命する人事を指名した。今回の指名には上院の承認が必要となる。国防総省は6月8日にワシントンでこの発表を行った。

President Donald Trump, via Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has ordered the withdrawal of approximately 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany due to European allies' insufficient support for U.S. operations against Iran, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
