Eric Shinseki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
General Eric K. Shinseki was the 34th Chief of Staff of the United States Army, and retired from the post in 2003. During his tenure, he initiated a controversial plan to make the Army more light and fast by creating Stryker Brigade Combat Teams.
Shinseki is a native of Hawaii and is the only Japanese American to ever be promoted to the Army's top position.
