"Biden selects Gen. David Allvin as next Air Force Chief of Staff"

President Joe Biden has chosen Gen. David Allvin to lead the Air Force, pending Senate confirmation. Allvin, currently serving as the Air Force's vice chief of staff, would replace Gen. C.Q. Brown, who was previously selected to be the next chair of the Joint Chiefs. However, the nominations of Allvin and other senior military officers are being delayed by Sen. Tommy Tuberville's blockade over the Department of Defense's abortion travel policy. If confirmed, Allvin would face challenges such as replacing aging aircraft, addressing a pilot shortage, and advancing the Air Force's digital capabilities.
