The Senate last week confirmed the Air Force’s choice of Maj. Gen. Charles Green as its new Surgeon General, about a month after the White House submitted his nomination. Green, currently serving as deputy Surgeon General, will pin on three stars and replace Lt. Gen. James Roudebush, who has led the service’s medical corps since 2006 and plans to retire officially on Oct. 1.
Lt. Gen. Stephen L. Davis, the Department of the Air Force’s top internal watchdog, has been nominated to lead Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the service’s bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
