Senate confirms Moseley as next CSAF
7/1/2005 - SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) -- The Senate has confirmed General T. Michael Moseley as the next chief of staff of the Air Force. He is the current Air Force vice chief of staff.
General Moseley met with members of the Senate Armed Services Committee June 29 during his confirmation hearing. Following the approval of the committee, his nomination was forwarded to the full Senate which approved the nomination just before adjourning for the Fourth of July holiday.
During the hearing he said his priorities would be to further refine and improve joint warfighting skills, continue to strengthen the Air Force's greatest asset -- its people -- and to recapitalize the aging aircraft fleet to meet future warfighting needs.
General Moseley is a command pilot with more than 2,800 hours in the T-37 Tweet, T-38 Talon and F-15 Eagle. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University where he earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree in political science. In addition to holding numerous operational assignments, he commanded U.S. Central Command Air Forces and served as Combined Forces Air Component Command commander for operations Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
