Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Francis Donovan assumes the post as the Trump administration seeks to reassert U.S. military dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
The Air Force's secretary and chief of staff have made improving readiness a top priority and emphasize it is "commanders' business," Lt. Gen. Pleus said.
If approved, the Air Force vice chief and JAG nominees would fill roles that have been vacant since President Trump fired their predecessors in February.
