We look to the future with encouragement, unity and strength for our deterrence against our external threats and for our national security as the confirmation of the new United States Chief of the Air Force, General Charles Q. Brown was announced.

“I’m committed to the Air Force achieving irreversible momentum towards implementation of the National Defense Strategy and an integrated and more lethal joint force…” – General C. Q. Brown at the Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing on May 7, 2020.

General Brown has been a staunch supporter and participant with us around the world in the recognition of leadership excellence in Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines from the United States, and from our allies and partners, who lead missile defense systems in making the nation and the world a safer place.

His strategic thinking, his intellectual prowess, and his technical knowledge in both depth and breadth is at the top of the Air Force and in the world. He is at the forefront of making the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), his predecessor General David L. Goldfein’s dream, into reality. General Brown is on the cutting edge in thought and action in leading a generational leap of our joint air and missile defenses in the evolution of technology of integration of sensors, and effectors for convergence.

“Of particular importance is building the digital foundation to support Joint All-Domain Command and Control, enabling the joint force, our allies, and our partners to connect, communicate, and integrate our collective efforts across all domains.” – General C. Q. Brown at the Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing on May 7, 2020.

General Charles Q. Brown is the right man, at the right time, for the right reasons to be the next leader of our nation’s Air Force. General Brown will be a significant contributor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in making our nation and world a safer place.
