Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. will become the nation's most senior military officer - Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) - later this year, President Biden formally announced May 25.
“He knows what it means to be in the thick of battle and how to keep your cool when things get hard,” Biden said in the White House Rose Garden.
The announcement took on a lighthearted tone, with Biden calling Brown a “proud butt-kickin’ American airman,” who also “smokes a mean brisket.”
If the Senate approves the nomination, Brown, 60, would become only the second Black man to become CJCS after Colin Powell. (Air & Space Forces Magazine 05/25/23)
