Chief Murray Retires Today: Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Gerald Murray is stepping down today as the top enlisted man in the Air Force, capping a 29-year career. (His official retirement date will be Oct. 1.) In a last Air Force television clip, called “Chief’s View,” Murray told airmen: “Your pride and professionalism inspires me; your competence and ability propels our Air Force. Because of you, we dominate in our domain … air, space, and cyberspace.” CMSgt. Rodney McKinley takes over as the 15th CMSAF.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
