Biden Nominates First Woman to Head Military Branch

President Joe Biden nominated Adm. Linda Fagan to be the 27th Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), according to a statement released Tuesday by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Fagan, if confirmed, would make history as the first woman to serve as the leader of any U.S. military branch, USNI News reported. She has served as the USCG’s vice commandant since June, when she became the first female officer in the USCG to be promoted to four stars, according to the outlet.
