Powell to chair Joint Chiefs of Staff in Bush era
Colin Powell, a four star Army general, was expected to be named chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by President Bush. If confirmed, at age 52 he would be the youngest to hold the post and the first Black officer in the nation’s top military role, with Senate approval deemed likely. Powell’s rapid ascent and prior commands, including Forces Command, marked him as a pragmatic, hard nosed leader trusted for defense guidance amid budget pressures and changing global threats.
