Air Force Gen. CQ Brown Jr. is set to be announced as President Biden's pick to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff replacing Army Gen. Mark Milley.
Brown, 60, was widely considered the frontrunner to replace Milley, especially as the Pentagon transitions its military capabilities away from land wars of the past to meet China’s growing cyber war, space, nuclear and hypersonic threats.
According to a senior administration official, Biden sees Brown as the right person to be the nation’s next top military officer because of how he has modernized U.S. airpower for a potential 21st-century fight, including updating the U.S. fleet and bolstering its nuclear arsenal.
