Who is the Medcom Commander?

• A. COL. Kelly
• B. LTG Izaguirre
• C. General Summons
• D. LtCol. Sullivian

Answer: (B)

Medcom Commander is the senior leader of the U.S. Army Medical Command, the AMEDD’s top officer who directs medical readiness, health services, and the operation of medical treatment facilities across the Army. This position is held by a Lieutenant General, a three-star rank that matches the broad scope of command over the Army’s medical enterprise. Therefore, Lieutenant General Izaguirre is the person occupying that role, which is why this choice is correct. The other names correspond to ranks that would not command the entire MEDCOM—colonel or lieutenant colonel would lead at facility or unit levels, and a four-star general would be in a different high-level role not specific to MEDCOM leadership.
