Kendall Facing Senate In Quest To Become Air Force Secretary


Frank Kendall III, will Testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee, today, May 25th, during his Confirmation Hearing to be the 26th Secretary of the Air Force.

Kendall would succeed Barbara M. Barrett, as the Head of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, Overseeing the Organizing, Training, and Equipping, of some 697,000 Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, and Civilian Airmen and Guardians.

If Confirmed, Kendall “would be facing a familiar challenge of declining defense budgets at a critical time for the Department of the Air Force and its fledgling U.S. Space Force,” said former Service Undersecretary, Matthew P. Donovan, who is now Director of Air Force Association (AFA)’s Mitchell Institute Spacepower Advantage Research Center.

“He would need to strongly support all Airmen and Guardians, staunchly advocate for the crucial importance of air and space power in support of the joint warfighter and great power competition, and set clear visions for the future” of both the Air Force and Space Force, Donovan added.

I served from 1965 to 1971, and a Member of the AFA.
