The negotiations went smoothly!
Colonel Clement and Colonel Lynch took turns calling their superiors, confirming Mountain Eagle's intentions and solutions, forming a verbal agreement...
Behind Colonel Lynch, as Mountain Eagle suspected, was Admiral Robinson, the big shot from the Alaska Command.
Before coming to Alaska, this big shot had long served in the Joint Staff, then transitioned through the air force commander position for two years before becoming the commander of the Alaska Command.
Strictly speaking, promotions within the US Army have stringent requirements, especially for core positions like battle zone commander, where the usual promotion path is orderly.
That is, after the commander retires, in most cases, the main officer of the local military branch assumes the position.
For example, the commander of the Pacific Fleet generally takes over the position of Indo-Pacific Commander.
