ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) -- Chief Master Sgt. David R. Wolfe was selected as the 21st Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force on Nov. 6. His valuable experience and proven performance make him a key addition to Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Ken Wilsbach's leadership team.
“Chief Wolfe has been my wingman, advisor and confidant for multiple command assignments,” said Wilsbach. “Cindy and I are delighted to have Dave and Doniel alongside us as we lead the Air Force. Their passion for Airmen and their families is second to none.”
Wolfe’s most recent assignment before this new position was Command Chief Master Sergeant, Air Combat Command, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. There, he served as the principal advisor to Wilsbach and ACC staff on issues impacting the well-being, morale, and optimal employment of all personnel.

His experience spans missile security, elite guard duty, protective services, and space warning security, demonstrating his commitment to national security. He possesses expertise in training and standardization evaluation, security forces operations, logistics, and professional military education, ensuring a well-rounded skill set.
“The selection of Chief Wolfe as our 21st Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force is the right decision during this critical time for the Air Force,” said Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink. “I know that he will continue to serve and advocate for Airmen and their families.”
As with previous CMSAFs, Wolfe will serve as the public voice for Air Force personnel to all levels of government. He will also act as an advisor to Wilsbach and other senior military and civilian leaders, providing counsel on issues concerning the welfare, readiness, morale, utilization, and professional development of the Air Force's Airmen.
As a leader, Wolfe will set the course for the Total Force and serve as a dedicated advocate for all Airmen.
