General Ken Wilsbach

I am proud to represent the 665,000 Total Force Airmen serving our Nation. Thank you to the House Appropriations Committee on Defense for the opportunity to highlight the Air Force’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget request.

Our commitment to providing the President with a secure, resilient and reliable airborne command post is unwavering. The VC-25B Bridge program is a testament to the Air Force's ability to innovate and rapidly evolve to ensure the continuity of our government under any conditions. af.mil/News/Article-D…

It was an absolute honor to serve as the reviewing official at Basic Military Training and usher in 787 of our newest Airmen. To our next generation of warfighters, welcome to the world's greatest Air Force!

Awesome trip to Vance Air Force Base to discuss the future of pilot training, innovations in the curriculum and how they fly & fix every day. These Airmen are the next generation and our future is bright! vance.af.mil/News/Article-D…

An honor to join CJCS Gen. Caine & @AFA_Air_Space to toast the Doolittle Raiders on the 84th anniversary of their daring raid. We remember the bravery & innovation of these 80 warfighters who defined American airpower. Their legacy of courage inspires us, and their spirit lives on in today’s @usairforce.

Our 2027 budget request funds our priorities of readiness, modernization and taking care of our Airmen and their families. Looking at readiness, it significantly increases accounts for flying hours, spare parts, munitions, maintenance, and advanced training that reflects the realities of today’s battlefield and tomorrow’s fight.

Great visit to Altus Air Force Base where the decisive mobility force of the future is being forged! CMSAF and I met with Airmen, wing leadership and community partners and were impressed by all. altus.af.mil/News/Article-D…

Great to spend time with Staff Sgt. Kelly Curtis & Senior Airman Jasmine Jones today. They are world-class Airmen & athletes who represented the @usairforce & our nation at the 2026 Winter Olympics. This is excellence in all we do.

This Experimental Operations Unit exercise puts warfighters at the center of developing CCA tactics. We're accelerating the timeline from concept to capability, ensuring our Airmen have the tools they need, when they need them, to guarantee air superiority.

People want to join a championship team! Winners joining winners.

Had a very good conversation w/@PhilAirForce Commanding General Lt. Gen. Arthur Cordura about shared security interests. We discussed ways to deepen bilateral cooperation and strengthen collective defense and deterrence in the Indo-Pacific region. 🇺🇸🇵🇭 @PACAF @INDOPACOM

Air University welcomed @OfficialCSAF to Maxwell AFB—highlighting how we develop joint warfighters and deliver decision-relevant insights that inform planning and improve effectiveness in war. Read more: airuniversity.af.edu/News/Display/A… @usairforce @AETCommand

Huge milestone for the B-21!

Great visit with Airmen at the 908th Flying Training Wing! I got to see how the wing is transforming to become the MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopter formal training unit. The MH-139A is going to make a huge difference in speed and volume.

It was an honor to host @IAF_MCC Air Chief Marshal AP Singh for a counterpart visit. The @usairforce is committed to deepening the US-India defense partnership, a driving force in building a free, open and prosperous Indo-Pacific. @PACAF @INDOPACOM af.mil/News/Article-D…

Thank you, Gen Marks. Lead them well, Col Tellez!

Great day visiting our industry partners in Fort Worth, Texas, home of the F-35. We’re working together to deliver innovative, combat capabilities to our warfighters.

Congratulations to the 34th Fighter Squadron! The competition was fierce. Well done.

We will never leave an Airman behind; it’s our creed and our warrior ethos. The combat search and rescue mission to bring our pilot and weapon systems officer home was one of the most impressive operations I’ve seen in 40 years of service. The survival skills our Airmen displayed to evade enemy capture, the teamwork between our special operations forces and recovery crew to lay down key strikes and extract deep behind enemy lines speaks to the strength of our warfighters. We displayed air supremacy, showing the overwhelming capability of the U.S. military. The enemy doesn’t stand a chance. I couldn’t be more proud of our Air Force, Joint Force and all those involved.
