US President Joe Biden announces his nomination of Air Force General Charles Brown, Jr. , to serve as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, DC, May 25, 2023. AFPPIX: A majority of the US Senate backed US air force chief General Charles Q Brown on Wednesday to be the top US military officer, as lawmakers moved to confirm some of the top senior officers whose promotions have been stalled by a Republican senator’s blockade.
He will be only the second black officer to chair the joint chiefs after Colin Powell two decades ago. Brown and other military officials had said Tuberville’s blockade of hundreds of military promotions could have a far-reaching impact across the armed forces, affecting troops and their families, and harming national security.
Brown’s confirmation means black Americans hold the top two positions at the Pentagon for the first time, a major milestone for an institution that is diverse in its lower ranks but largely white and male at the top.
