ARLINGTON, Va., September 30, 2025—The Air & Space Forces Association applauds the nomination of Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach to be the 24th Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Wilsbach’s extensive experience with the Combat Air Force and in the Indo-Pacific region will be invaluable in the face of determined adversaries who are innovating quickly to challenge American air dominance and superiority.
“We congratulate General Wilsbach and applaud the administration for selecting him to be the next Chief of Staff of our U.S. Air Force,” said AFA President & CEO Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.). “General Wilsbach’s demonstrated leadership at every level, strategic vision, and extensive experience in the Pacific theater, as well as his command of Air Combat Command and Pacific Air Forces, are ideal preparation for this important assignment. Now, more than ever, the Air Force needs bold and innovative leadership as it modernizes in response to growing threats around the globe, and especially in the Indo-Pacific region. We urge Congress to move swiftly in confirming General Wilsbach to be Chief of Staff of the Air Force.”
