    • The U.S defence Secretary was returned to hospital today afternoon following bladder complications.
    • The General is expected to be out of service for a while.

    Austin was expected to travel to Europe for the Ukraine Contact group and NATO Defence Ministerial amid the exodus of this month.

    Appointed to the office by President Biden, the General is a United States army veteran having served in the army for 41 years before retiring in 2016 a four star general,  the highest rank in the U.S military.

    A former survivor of prostrate cancer, the General holds the office as the 76th Secretary since the rebirth of the nation in 1796 and the first and only black to head the pentagon.
