Thurmond’s influence dominates Army promotions and awards
Sources say Thurmond effectively runs RCA and influenced Maj. Gen. J Milner Roberts as its chief. He and Roberts pressed for Col. Warren Abernathy’s brigadier general promotion, a move the Army Personnel chief called possible under established procedures after a contested delay and an Army Awards Board reversal. The Pentagon-linked figures push for high command roles amid retirement timing scrutiny.
