    General to make history as Army's 1st female infantry division commander

    California National Guard's 40th Infantry Division will be commanded by a female general. She was a Black Hawk pilot and has held various commands through her career.

    Brig. Gen. Laura Yeager will make history later this month when she becomes the first woman to command a U.S. Army Infantry Division.

    Yeager, a former Black Hawk helicopter pilot who deployed to Iraq, will assume command of the California National Guard's 40th Infantry Division during a ceremony in Los Alamitos, California, on June 29, according to a news release from the California Guard.
