Who is Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr, likely replacement for Gen. Milley as Joint Chiefs of Staff chair?
Fox News
Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. has made a name for himself as a by-the-book commander, but he has ruffled feathers at times for speaking his mind without warning.
Most analysts seem to believe that Biden will select Brown, who would be the fifth Air Force service member out of 20 officers who have held the position – half of them from the Army alone. He would assume the post on Oct. 1, the day after Milley’s term ends, if selected. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Brown would also be the second African American in the role after Army Gen. Colin Powell, who was appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1989.
