Hon. Kristyn Jones spoke at an National Defense University panel with Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth & USNavyCNO March 25:

“Our allies are certainly adding to our capability and capacity,” Jones said. “And it's critical that we all work together in order for all of us to be strong for Great Power Competition.”

We also visited and honored the 16,859 interred and 36,286 still missing at the Manila American Cemetery

We visited Manila to meet Undersec. of National Defense Irineo Espino and Chief of Staff of AFP Gen. Romeo Brawner. Our thanks to them and Ambassador Carlson for their hospitality.

Our travels continue and we observed ongoing restoration of the North Field of Tinian. Our Red Horse engineers are carefully reclaiming this historic airfield.

Today we travelled to Saipan to meet with Governor Arnold Palacios and then to Tinian to meet w/Mayor Edwin Aldan—key partners, key locations

SecAF, CSAF and CMSAF have begun their Pacific trip at Hawaii to meet Airmen & Guardians and assess our progress in the region. One Team, One Fight.

Yesterday, CMSAF #5 was laid to rest. His lifelong dedication to the Air Force reached many generations of Airmen. We are thankful that Chief Gaylor was in our formation.

Congratulations to United States Space Force Astronaut Col. Nick Hague, scheduled to be the first #Guardian to launch into space later this year! While the missions of USSF & NASA are inherently different, our #partnership is essential to our mutual growth & success:spaceforce.mil/News/Article-D…

The only thing better than watching the 1st episode of Masters of the Air with friends — watching it with #Airmen that were there for the real-life events! Our thanks to Joint Base Andrews for hosting a screening and gratitude to the cast of Masters of the Air for honoring our heroes!

Today, we honor Martin Luther King Jr., whose actions led to a more unified Nation committed to protecting liberty and justice for all. Dr. King showed us the importance of equality and a willingness to serve others. His legacy reminds us of what we have sworn to protect.

It’s final! 31-21 Air Force. Your 2023 Armed Forces Bowl Champs 🏈

Happy Birthday to all our #Guardians as the United States Space Force celebrates its fourth year.
