U.S. President Joe Biden has announced that he will nominate Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Brown, who has served as commander of the Pacific Air Forces, as the new head of the U.S. military uniform.
U.S. President Joe Biden announced at the White House on the 25th that he will nominate Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Brown as the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Armed Forces.
After serving as deputy commander of the U.S. Central Command, which oversees the Middle East, and commander of the Pacific Air Forces, Brown has been the Air Force's uniformed chief of staff for the past three years.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the head of the so-called uniformed group of the U.S. military, provides military advice to the president, and President Biden said, "The world is at a tipping point, and today's decisions will determine the future direction of the world. He expressed his expectations for Mr. Brown, who has led in the Indo-Pacific and elsewhere.
The US media reported that President Biden praised Mr. Brown for his familiarity with China, which is intensifying military movements, and his involvement in military support for Ukraine, which continues to be invaded by Russia.
If confirmed by the Senate and Brown is formally inaugurated, it will be the first time in U.S. history that a black person will hold two posts: Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
