Jeffery D. Broadwater (born 1967) is a retired United States Army major general who last served as deputy commanding general of V Corps from August 2021 to July 2023.^[5] He previously served as commanding general of the 1st Cavalry Division from October 2019 to July 2021.^[6]^[7] Prior to that, he served as commanding general of the Fort Irwin National Training Center from November 2016 to September 2019.^[2]^[8]^[3]

Broadwater was among 14 Fort Hood military leaders fired or suspended from duty by then-Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy for creating a "permissive environment" that let crimes up to sexual harassment and assault occur with little punitive action, per an investigation into the death of Vanessa Guillén.^[9]^[10] He ultimately did not face any disciplinary action, but was consequently not present at the 1st Cavalry's change of command ceremony in July 2021.^[11]^[12]
