Funding the Force
Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., and Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond testify before the House Armed Services Committee on the Department of the Air Force’s fiscal year 2023 budget request in Washington, D.C., April 27, 2022. All three senior leaders delivered familiar recommendations and perspectives – the need to modernize the forces; make the hardware and operations in space more resilient, modern and robust; continuing to refine multi-domain operations and communications; upgrading the nuclear deterrent; and ensuring that bases are protected, and personnel and equipment can be delivered to wherever they are needed without delay.
