What an epic call to the @Space_Station with astronaut & @USSpaceForce Col Anil Menon! His service –on Earth and in orbit—reflects the best of our Guardians and underscores the incredible partnership between the DAF & @NASA.
Very proud to surprise Anil with his well-earned astronaut wings and gold pin, indicating successful training and flight into space.

Huge thanks to @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman, Anil’s fellow astronauts in orbit, and our teammates in the room who helped recognize such an inspiring milestone.

Earlier this month, I visited McConnell AFB to meet with Airmen and industry partners. Seeing their work firsthand reinforced two priorities: take care of our people and build the readiness our nation demands. Our mission depends on both!

The Department of the Air Force is using everything in our toolkit to speed up the COVID-19 reinstatement process. By deploying dedicated case managers and reducing bottlenecks, we’re ensuring former Airmen and Guardians can quickly rejoin the force and return to serving in uniform.

My colleagues and I are saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. and CAPT (Ret.) James Roche, the 20th Secretary of the Air Force. Following a distinguished 23-year career in the Navy, Dr. Roche went on to serve in the private sector before returning to government to lead the Department during a defining chapter in our post-9/11 history.

I extend my deepest condolences to his loved ones and join those who knew him and served with him in honoring his distinguished service. His leadership and commitment helped strengthen the Joint Force, leaving a true impression on our nation.

[Office of the Secretary of the Air Force @SecAFOfficial]

Thank you for your leadership and for shaping the U.S. Space Force, Gen. Saltzman! Congratulations on your retirement, and best wishes to you and Jennifer as you begin this next chapter. May it be filled with well-earned time together and new adventures.

Lindsey Graham was an unapologetic champion for our military.

Joint Base Lindsey Graham will carry his legacy forward for generations to come.

Rest easy, Senator—we have the watch.

[Office of the Secretary of the Air Force @SecAFOfficial]

Huge congrats to Lt Gen Doug Schiess on his Senate confirmation as the 3rd Chief of Space Operations! Having worked closely with him, I know his ops depth & vision are exactly what we need to continue accelerating capabilities and protecting our nation. I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to Gen Chance Saltzman for his leadership during a period of massive transformation. The @USSpaceForce is more ready because of you both.

Reflecting on an incredibly productive trip to Texas! I had the opportunity to meet with leaders & teammates @UTEP, @JointTFSB, @1stArmoredDiv, @AFWERX, as well as the Borderplex Alliance, @TXSpaceComm, and @GovAbbott. We covered a ton of ground to ensure the Department of the Air Force is postured for the future:
✅ Received updates on the joint task force, base operations & readiness.
✅ Affirmed ways to improve partnerships across commercial sectors & academia that accelerate capability development.
✅ Discussed the critical need for growing the @USSpacForce footprint.

The commitment & cooperation between military, state leadership, and local innovators was clear. The way Texas’s infrastructure & talent pool will continue helping the DAF maintain a competitive edge - very clear!

Huge thanks to everyone who hosted our team. Together, we’re ensuring #Airmen and #Guardians have exactly what they need to protect the nation.

Visiting @EAA’s AirVenture Oshkosh last week was a great reminder of the Air Force’s past, present, and future! I saw epic flyovers, connected with recruiters & teams from across the Total Force, and had the honor of enlisting new Airmen & Guardians. Truly inspiring to engage with the next generation in aviation and innovation.
