Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. Southern Command, is retiring in December after just one year on the job — far short of the usual tour. His departure comes amid escalating military operations in the Caribbean, rising tensions with Venezuela, and reports of disagreement with senior leadership.
In this video we explore:
• What SOUTHCOM does — the U.S. military’s arm covering Latin America, the Caribbean and anti-narcotics missions.
• Why Holsey’s early exit suggests deeper issues: chain-of-command friction, mission urgency, ideological shifts.
• What this means for U.S. policy toward Venezuela and the broader region — and for viewers watching “America’s global role.”
