Biden selects history-making fighter pilot for Joint Chiefs chairman and NSA/Cyber Command leader

President Joe Biden has nominated Gen Charles "CQ" Brown Jr, the current Air Force chief of staff, to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top military officer in the US. If confirmed, Gen Brown would be the only other black chairman of the joint chiefs in US history besides General Colin Powell. This would also be the first time ever that two African American men simultaneously held the most senior civil and military positions at the Pentagon, as Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin is also black.
