Roudebush entered the Air Force in 1975 after receiving his doctor of medicine degree from the University of Nebraska and has served as command surgeon of US Central Command, Pacific Air Forces, and US Transportation Command.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
