President Biden formally announced his nomination of Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Brown — whose grandfather “led a segregated [military] unit in World War II,” according to Biden — would be the second-ever black man to serve in the role after the late Colin Powell, who held the post from 1989 to 1993.
“Gen. Brown is an incredibly capable and professional officer, and what he brings to the table, to any table, is that professionalism, that deep experience in warfighting and I have personal knowledge of that,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters on Thursday.Milley also spoke highly of his possible replacement on Thursday, saying he and Austin had known Brown “for a long time.”
Brown may face an uphill battle for Senate confirmation as Sen. Tommy Tuberville continues to block roughly 200 DOD nominations.“In my view, he has all the knowledge skills attributes to do this job, and he has the appropriate demeanor and he’s got a great chemistry with obviously with the president [and] SecDef and others,” Milley said.
