Greetings, I am Mark Damon Kelly. As a retired general in the United States Air Force, I had the honor of serving as the commander of Air Combat Command from 2020 to 2024. Prior to that, I held the position of deputy chief of staff for operations from August 2018 to August 2020. My journey in the skies spans over 6,000 flying hours, with a notable 800 combat hours in Tactical Fighter Aircraft. My dedication to excellence in aviation has been a guiding principle throughout my career.
