Pentagon announces
new commanders for PACAF, ACC
Gen. Herbert J.
“Hawk” Carlisle U.S. AIR FORCE
WASHINGTON — The
Pentagon on Tuesday announced White House nominations for two top Air Force
jobs, including a woman who would become the U.S. military’s first female
four-star combat commander if confirmed.
Lt. Gen. Lori J.
Robinson
President Barack
Obama nominated Air Force Lt. Gen. Lori J. Robinson to receive a fourth star
and become commander of Pacific Air Forces. Robinson would also become air
component commander for U.S. Pacific Command and executive director of Pacific
Air Combat Operations Staff at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Robinson
now serves as vice commander at Air Combat Command, Joint Base Langley-Eustis,
Virginia.
Obama also nominated
the current PACAF commander, Gen. Herbert J. “Hawk” Carlisle to run Air Combat
Command.
As PACAF commander
since 2012, Carlisle has helmed the air component of the United States’ Pacific
rebalance strategy, an effort to build military, diplomatic and economic
alliances in the Asia-Pacific region, where a resurgent China has been flexing
its military muscles.
A fighter pilot by
training, Carlisle had served as Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for
Operations, Plans and Requirements at the Pentagon and earlier commanded the
13th Air Force at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, among other
assignments. He received his commission after graduation from the Air Force
Academy in 1978.
Robinson, an air
battle manager, has served as vice commander of Air Combat Command since May
2013. Before that, she served as deputy commander, U.S. Air Forces Central
Command and deputy Combined Force Air Component Commander for U.S. Central
Command in Southwest Asia. She entered the Air Force in 1982 through the ROTC
program at the University of New Hampshire.
Robinson is the
second woman to rise to the four-star rank in the Air Force. Gen. Janet
Wolfenbarger took command of Air Force materiel command in 2012.
