President Joe Biden has tapped Gen. David Allvin as his nominee to serve as the next Air Force chief of staff, the White House announced July 26. That puts Allvin, who has served as Air Force vice chief of staff since November 2020, in line to lead the service in the midst of a massive paradigm shift to prepare its troops and equipment for a new era of war. "I am honored and privileged to be nominated as the next chief of staff of the Air Force," Allvin said in a statement from the service. "If confirmed, I will continue the tradition and legacy of integrity, service and excellence that this position requires."
