As Undersecretary, Dalton will be the principal deputy for Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and help shepherd the department through its ongoing “re-optimization” for Great Power Competition, which includes sweeping organizational changes across the Air Force and Space Force. 

Dalton’s confirmation comes eight months after she was first nominated to succeed Gina Ortiz Jones, who held the job from July 2021-March 2023. Department comptroller Krysten E. Jones performed the duties of undersecretary for more than 14 months—the longest tenure of any interim Air Force undersecretary in recent memory.
