A Conversation With Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall

Discussing Air Force and Space Force personnel, the crisis in Ukraine, competition with China, human rights, and the role of the U.S. in the world

The U.S. Department of the Air Force continues to be essential to American efforts in the face of some of the world’s most profound challenges. Ranging from its heroic actions in Afghanistan, to its logistical support to the people of Ukraine and the allied response to Russia’s invasion, to grappling with the profound threat posed by climate change, the Air Force plays a critical role in responding to modern challenges.
