"Trump's NATO Threats Divide US Leadership and Allies"

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown emphasized the importance of upholding US alliances and credibility, stating that the US commitment to NATO remains strong despite former President Trump's comments suggesting otherwise. Brown's remarks come in response to Trump's recent statements indicating a lack of intention to defend NATO allies from Russian attack if reelected. The ongoing tension between military leaders and Trump continues, with Gen. Mark Milley, Brown's predecessor, previously criticizing Trump and Trump firing back on social media.

US and Chinese Military Officials Break Year-Long Silence in Historic Talks

The top US and Chinese military officials, Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. and Gen. Liu Zhenli, spoke for the first time in over a year, signaling the end of a strained silence between the two countries. They discussed the importance of managing competition, avoiding miscalculations, and maintaining open lines of communication. The lack of communication had deeply concerned the Pentagon, but restoring it was a priority in recent talks between President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping. The US military had expressed significant concern over the silence from China, and efforts to establish communication have been ongoing.

"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.

President Joe Biden is set to announce Gen. C.Q. Brown, the Air Force’s top officer and the first Black person to lead any branch of the military, as his next Joint Chiefs chair, replacing Army Gen. Mark Milley. If confirmed, Brown would become the first Black Joint Chiefs chair in 30 years and the first time in the nation’s history that the Pentagon’s top military and civilian positions are held by African Americans. Brown is considered the right person for the job, with deep field experience in theaters across the globe, including commanding troops in the Pacific and the Middle East.

Biden selects Air Force general to head NSA and Cyber Command.

President Joe Biden is expected to nominate Gen. "CQ" Brown, current Air Force chief of staff, to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, making him the senior military adviser to the president and White House. If confirmed by the Senate, Brown would be the second Black Joint Chiefs chairman after Army Gen. Colin Powell and the first to hold the position while another Black man, Lloyd Austin, serves as secretary of defense. Brown's experience in the Indo-Pacific region and his personal character make him a good fit for the moment, according to former Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson.

Biden to Nominate Air Force General as Joint Chiefs Chairman, Facing Senate Confirmation

President Joe Biden is expected to nominate Air Force Gen. C.Q. Brown as the next Joint Chiefs chair, but he will likely face tough questions from the Senate, including on China's possible invasion of Taiwan, Ukraine's fight against Russia, and Pentagon policies on diversity and abortion. Brown, who was confirmed 98-0 as Air Force chief of staff in 2020, is expected to survive the confirmation battle, but he may face delays due to a partisan deadlock over military promotions in the Senate.
