The Senate has confirmed Air Force Gen. Kevin Chilton to take control of US Strategic Command, just one day after his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. The President nominated Chilton, who currently heads Air Force Space Command, for the new post in July. Replacing Chilton at AFSPC will be Lt. Gen. Bob Kehler, who has served as deputy commander at STRATCOM and recently was confirmed for a fourth star.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
