US general John Allen has decided to retire instead of taking the job of Nato's supreme commander in Europe, President Barack Obama has said.
In a statement, Mr Obama said he had accepted Gen Allen's request to retire from the military in order to "address health issues within his family".
Gen Allen is the outgoing commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan.
Earlier this year, he was cleared of misconduct in a scandal that brought down CIA director Gen David Petraeus.
