WASHINGTON — In a move that
took the military hierarchy by sur
prise, President Carter announced
1 Wednesday that he is nominating Lt.
|Gen. Edward “Shy” Meyer to be
jArmy chief of staff over a number of
jmore senior officers.
The White House announcement
followed reports from Pentagon
sources that Carter has selected
Meyer to be the Army’s top general
with promotion to four-star rank.
When confirmed by the Senate,
the 50-year-old Meyer will be one of
the youngest officers ever to hold the
Army’s top uniformed job. An articu
late and intellectual West Pointer,
he is said to have impressed Carter
and reportedly was sought for the
post by Army Secretary Clifford Ale
xander,
Meyer will succeed Gen. Bernard
Rogers, who is moving to Europe as
the supreme commander of NATO
forces next month.
Although he had been considered
a dark horse candidate for the chief of
staff job, Meyer was named last
month as the next commander of
Army forces in Europe. That post
would have brought him his fourth
star anyway, but the announcement
was widely thought to have taken
him out of the running for the chiefs
job.
Carter's choice jumps Meyer over
four four-star generals who were
considered likely candidates for the
top post, as well as another two four-
stars who are not yet ready for re
tirement. He is also passing nine
other three-star generals who are
senior to him in rank.
