Biden to Nominate Air Force General as Top Military Officer
TL;DR Summary
President Biden is expected to nominate Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., the Air Force chief of staff, as the country's most senior military officer, succeeding Gen. Mark A. Milley. If confirmed, General Brown would be the second Black man to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and his appointment, along with Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III, would mean that the top two Pentagon leadership positions would be held by African American men for the first time in American history. General Brown's experience in Asia was also a key factor in Biden's decision.
