President Obama nominated Lt. Gen. Edward A. Rice Jr. on March 17 to be the Air Force’s next four-star general.
Rice is currently commander of U.S. Forces Japan and of 5th Air Force at Yokota Air Base, Japan.
He is a 1978 Air Force Academy graduate and a command pilot with more than 3,800 flying hours. He flew B-52G bombers for much of the 1980s.
Rice commanded the Air Force Recruiting Service from May 2002 to January 2004, and has been with Pacific Air Forces since January 2005, when he took command of 13th Air Force at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.
