As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the youngest major in the U.S. Army is often a title that changes frequently due to promotions and new entries into the service. However, typically, officers can be promoted to major after serving a minimum of 10 years and meeting certain criteria. Consequently, the youngest major at any given time is usually in their early to mid-30s. For the most current information, you would need to check recent Army records or news sources.
