A Strategic Leader for a Strategic Time: Gen. Thomas Bussiere Nominated as USAF VC of Staff

The U.S. Air Force is poised for a pivotal leadership moment with the nomination of General Thomas A. Bussiere as the next USAF Vice Chief of Staff. Currently at the helm of Air Force Global Strike Command, Gen. Bussiere is responsible for overseeing the nation’s land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles and strategic bombers, which are critical components of our national security.

His nomination signals a strong commitment to readiness, resilience, and real-world results, not just for the military, but for every American business and worker whose prosperity depends on global stability. Gen. Bussiere is the right leader at the right time. And for those of us working at the intersection of national defense and economic development, that’s something worth celebrating and supporting.

Your Wyoming Chamber of Commerce has had the privilege of working alongside Gen. Bussiere in our shared efforts to advocate for these critical defense initiatives—initiatives poised to bring significant economic growth and employment opportunities to our state. We look forward to continuing this partnership and pushing the Sentinel project across the finish line.

Congratulations, Gen. Bussiere!
