'Congratulations to the 26th Secretary of the USAirForce, Mr. Frank Kendall,' tweeted Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles Q. Brown. 'Welcome to the world's greatest Air Force!'

, Sen. Mike Lee , Sen. Debbie Stabenow and Sen. Gary Peters reportedly held up the nomination until the Senate confirmed Kendall until Monday night's voice vote.

"I believe the range and severity of the threats that we face and will face, the rapid pace of technological innovation, and the need to rapidly harness that technology in new operational concepts demand a sense of urgency and a like focus on getting our choices right," he added. Warren held up the vote over ethics concerns but dropped her hold earlier this month after receiving assurances from Kendall that he would not work in the defense industry for an extended period after serving as secretary, according to Military.Com. She reportedly received similar assurances from Austin before he was confirmed as Defense Secretary in January.
