Charles \u201cCQ\u201d Brown Jr. Expected to Be Nominated as Next Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff<\/h2>\n<p>Multiple reports suggest that Gen. Charles \u201cCQ\u201d Brown Jr., the current top officer of the Air Force, will soon be nominated by the White House to serve as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If appointed, Brown would replace Gen. Mark Milley, who is set to retire this summer after serving as the top military adviser to the president for the past four years.<\/p>\n<h3>Breaking Down Racial Barriers<\/h3>\n<p>Brown\u2019s appointment would mark the first time that the Pentagon\u2019s two top positions will be held by Black men, with Brown joining Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. He would also be the second Black officer appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs, following in the footsteps of Army Gen. Colin Powell who served in that capacity during the presidencies of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Brown has already broken down racial barriers as the first Black officer to lead one of the military\u2019s service branches. In 2020, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/father-of-slain-ferguson-teen-demands-20m-from-blm\/\" title=\"Father of slain Ferguson teen demands M from BLM\">garnered national attention<\/a> when he weighed in on the racial unrest roiling the country in connection with the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, a Black man who was choked to death by an arresting officer.<\/p>\n<h3>Experience Grappling with the Challenge Posed by China<\/h3>\n<p>Before serving as Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Brown commanded the Air Force in the Pacific, which gives him experience grappling with the challenge posed by China. Brown has given blunt assessments of what is in store from Beijing. In 2021, he told reporters that the world is experiencing changes to the \u201crules-based international order\u201d not seen since World War II.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo put the gravity of our pacing challenge in perspective, at the height of the Cold War, the USSR\u2019s GDP was 57% of the U.S.\u2019s,\u201d Brown said. \u201cChina\u2019s economy will likely exceed the U.S.\u2019s in dollar terms as the largest economy in the world in the next 10 years &#8230; I really believe, without change, we are at risk of losing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Contending with Ongoing Culture Wars in the United States<\/h3>\n<p>While Brown\u2019s job as chairman would revolve around advising President Joe Biden on top security concerns like countering Russia and China, he will also likely have to contend with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/crt-experts-offer-advice-on-how-parents-can-fight-back-against-indoctrination-in-their-childs-classroom\/\" title=\"CRT Experts Offer Advice On How Parents Can Fight Back Against Indoctrination In Their Child\u2019s Classroom\">ongoing culture wars<\/a> in the United States. In recent years, the military has found itself caught in the middle on so-called \u201cwoke\u201d issues such as transgender rights, drag queen performances on bases, and books in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leader-of-u-s-air-force-to-be-appointed-chairman-of-joint-chiefs\/\" title=\"US Air Force leader to become Joint Chiefs Chairman.\">military school libraries related<\/a> to gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>Such matters are likely to come up during Brown\u2019s nomination process. Last week, he got a sampling of such questions during a congressional hearing about an Air Force Academy diversity training initiative that suggested cadets consider favoring words such as \u201cparents\u201d or \u201cguardians\u201d instead of \u201cmoms and dads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of leadership is understanding the people you are privileged to lead,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd as you have that opportunity, you get to know them. Now, every one of us grows up differently and has different experiences and different backgrounds, and we can\u2019t assume who we engage with.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
