Army Maj. Gen. Thomas Carden Jr., adjutant general of the Georgia National Guard, has been nominated by President Biden to serve as deputy commander of U.S. Northern Command.

In a general officer announcement posted Thursday, Lloyd Austin, defense secretary and three-time Wash100 Award recipient, said Carden is also up for appointment to the rank of lieutenant general.

Prior to his current assignment, Carden was deputy commander of NATO’s Multi- National Division Southeast in Bucharest, Romania.

He additionally served in the Georgia Army National Guard as chief of staff; deputy chief of staff for plans, operations and training; and deputy chief for personnel.

Carden enlisted in the Georgia Army National Guard as an infantryman in 1986 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1989.
