Thanks to Times of India: It states:
Dunwoody was named deputy commanding general of materiel command only last week, following the retirement of Lieutenant General William Mortensen. Army spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Anne Edgecomb said the nomination of Dunwoody to the rank of four-star general was "important, considering that there are about 11 four-star generals in the army and we have a total force of 1,077,500 soldiers," of whom 14 per cent are women.
Even Russian agency Pravda has appreciated the news:
