The Marine Corps has a Black woman commanding in its ranks as a two-star general for the first time in history.
President Joe Biden nominated Brig. Gen. Lorna Mahlock for the promotion to major general earlier this month and the Senate confirmed her nomination Thursday by voice vote.
The Jamaican-born Mahlock, 54, currently serves as the National Security Agency’s deputy director of cybersecurity for combat support and is based at Fort Meade, MD. #BWLM💕
