Military service can be challenging, and our spouses know this better than anyone.
The Military Spouse Commission is bringing that perspective forward — tackling everything from child care and housing to careers and health care.
Thank you to the spouses bringing their voices, experiences, and ideas to the table as we work to strengthen the military family community.
Yesterday, Chairwoman @JennyHegseth hosted the first public meeting for the President’s Military Spouse Commission.
A swearing-in of the members was led by @SECWAR

Congrats, LT!
Guardian grit, all the way to the finish. 🏆

✈️ Happy 79th Birthday to the @usairforce ✈️
SLD 45 would not be able to tackle the mission at a historical pace without the efforts of our Air Force teammates.
Enjoy some cake and keep on flying, fixing, and fighting!
Here's to another year of Aiming High!

As someone who served almost 30 years as an Airman, I congratulate the Air Force on 79 years of unmatched service and innovation. The Space Force is honored to be your teammate!
79 years of breaking barriers—and counting.
Happy birthday to the U.S. Air Force! From the Bell X-1 to today’s Airmen, innovation and service fuel our future.

What he said.
NASA gets to pursue some extraordinary missions because others stand watch. Grateful to the Guardians of the @USSpaceForce who help make our work possible and to @POTUS for having the foresight to establish it.

Thanks to @AFA_Air_Space for giving me the opportunity to speak directly with Airmen, Guardians and industry partners.

The Space Force is operating weapons in orbit today.
At #AFANational, new CSO Gen. Schiess discussed the capabilities, concepts, and investments needed to ensure the U.S. Space Force remains ready to deter threats and support the Joint Force whenever called upon.

As I reiterated today, Guardians operate on-orbit weapons that can defend the Joint Force against space-enabled attacks. We don’t just monitor the domain. We stand ready to defend it, all with the ultimate aim of deterring conflict.
“We are increasing readiness against existing threats, and the United States has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action.”

Never forget.
Twenty-five years ago, America was attacked.
2,977 lives were lost. At the Pentagon, 184 never made it home.
But from that terrible day came an extraordinary response.
Americans embraced the challenge, and a generation of young men and women answered the call to serve.
As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine reflected earlier this week: “They saw the chance to serve something greater than themselves, knowing full well that they were signing up to go into combat.”
Twenty-five years later, we remember those we lost, honor the families who carry their absence, and recognize the courage of all who answered the call.
We remember. We honor. We serve.

Guardians have removed all doubt that space is a critical part of the Joint fight. Now, it's time to build on that momentum.

I’m incredibly humbled by everyone who attended today’s ceremony.
My wife, Debbie, and I are looking forward to serving the men and women of the @USSpaceForce , the Joint Force, and their families. As I take on this new role, I will never forget my responsibility to serve our Guardians, their families, our nation, and the American people.

It has been the honor of a lifetime serving as your CSO, and as I prepare for retirement, I am incredibly proud of what our team has built. But I have to admit, nothing prepared me for the surprise shoutout on Perigee Podcast from my favorite sports teams! What an unforgettable way to wrap up this chapter.

Jennifer and I had a great time sitting down with @SpaceForceAssoc. Thanks for letting us share some of our fondest memories while serving the world's greatest military!
Our exclusive sit-down with Gen. Chance Saltzman (@SpaceForceCSO) & Jennifer Saltzman: the marriage that helped build the @USSpaceForce. This conversation is unlike anything we have released. Warm, unguarded, and far more about character than command. Full interview link below ↓
