Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy into the hell of war — answering the call of duty in defense of freedom.
Today, we honor their courage, remember their sacrifice, and remain forever grateful for the liberty they secured for generations to come.

Years of training. Days to deliver.
When Super Typhoon Sinlaku struck Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Airmen from the 374th Airlift Wing rapidly deployed personnel, aircraft, and critical supplies to support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.

Space launch is never easy, and pushing the boundaries of technology always comes with risk. Every test is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and improve no matter the outcome.
I have no doubt the New Glenn team @BlueOrigin and other critical commercial partners will keep driving innovation and advancing America’s leadership in space.

It was a true honor and privilege to be a part of the @af_academy graduation ceremony today. These newly minted Air and Space Force officers have answered the call to serve something greater than themselves, and I know they are ready.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026 — we are counting on you, and we are proud to serve alongside you!

I recently had the chance to meet with more of our industry partners in Southern California. On the ground, I found a cluster of companies modernizing to achieve the high ground in space, manufacture faster and cheaper, and bring the latest technology to the warfighter.
Together, we are working towards a common goal of equipping our #Airmen and #Guardians faster to protect our great nation.

Today, I testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee, outlining the FY 2027 budget request to meet DAF priorities: strengthen readiness, modernize the force, take care of our #Airmen and #Guardians, and invest in next-gen tech to maintain a competitive edge in Air & Space.

Six 55th FS pilots received the Distinguished Flying Cross for combat heroism during Operation Midnight Hammer.

A 920th Rescue Wing HH-60W crew was on a training flight when they received a call...
Watch as they immediately transitioned to a real-world rescue, locating & hoisting 11 people from a life raft after their aircraft went down.
This is what readiness looks like: dvidshub.net/r/u2t8dv

What was once theory is now proven. America’s leaders, allies, and adversaries all understand the advantage space delivers in modern conflict.
And behind it all is a lethal, combat-credible force of Space Force Guardians on the Invisible Front Line.

Thanks to President Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget, this War Department has moved from bureaucracy to business.
This is a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT in our Arsenal of Freedom—ensuring our military remains the most lethal fighting force in the world.
