 Cavoli, who now commands U.S. Army forces on the continent, will succeed Air Force Gen. Tod Wolters as the head of U.S. European Command and NATO supreme allied commander. Cavoli will assume command in a change of command ceremony on July 1. 

He takes the reins as Russian forces slowly begin to gain ground in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.
