Who is Chief of Staff of the Air Force?

• A. General Dan Caine
• B. General Kenneth S. Wilsbach
• C. The Honorable Frank Kendall III
• D. The Honorable Mike Johnson

Answer: (B)

The essential idea is identifying the senior uniformed leader who heads the Air Staff and serves as the principal military advisor to civilian leadership. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force is the four-star general who directs organization, training, and equipping of the Air Force and sits on the Joint Chiefs of Staff as the service’s top officer. In this context, General Kenneth S. Wilsbach is identified as occupying that position, making him the best answer. The other names represent individuals in different roles: Frank Kendall III is the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, Mike Johnson is a political leader, and General Dan Caine is not the Chief of Staff in this scenario. The key takeaway is that the Chief of Staff is the highest-ranking Air Force officer responsible for readiness and advice to civilian authorities.
