Eric Fanning, the first gay man appointed to head the US Army, is set to be replaced with a billionaire hockey club owner.

Obama nominee Eric Fanning only became the United States Secretary of the Army in May this year, making history as the first out man to head a military branch.

 

The appointment came less than five years on from ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ – which had banned openly gay people from serving in the military altogether.

Fanning has more than a decade of experience, holding Army, Navy, and Air Force positions in the Department of Defence, serving in a number of high-ranking roles before his current high-profile assignment.

However, it was confirmed this week that he will not be asked to stay on by the Trump administration, with the President-elect opting to appoint billionaire businessman Vincent Viola as his replacement.
