US intel chief in Afghanistan leaving for new post
KABUL, Afghanistan — An Army spokesman says the top U.S. and NATO intelligence officer in Afghanistan is on his way to another job.
Spokesman Col. Thomas Collins did not say what job Maj. Gen. Michael Flynn would take, as the move had not yet been approved by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
But two defense officials say Flynn will become a top troubleshooter for the Director of National Intelligence. The officials spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence.
Flynn is expected to be replaced by Brig. Gen. Stephen Fogarty, the current intelligence officer at the U.S. Central Command in Florida.
