24th SECAF Takes Office

摘要

The Senate confirmed Heather A. Wilson as the 24th Secretary of the Air Force on May 8, by a vote of 76 to 22. Wilson was then sworn in by Defense Secretary James N. Mattis at a May 16 Pentagon ceremony. Wilson has extensive experience with the Air Force, Congress, and in education. Since she is only the second of President Trump's Pentagon nominees to be confirmed, she will probably wield significant influence in the new administration.
