The Air Force has just two female four-star generals, and one is about to become the first woman to head a top-tier U.S. warfighting command, but that may not be the most remarkable thing about her.
Gen. Lori J. Robinson takes over the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command in Colorado on Friday. People who know Robinson describe her as the personification of a new generation of leaders, someone who understands the Air Force has a broad role in space, cyber security and drones, not just flying and fighting.
"Gen. Robinson reflects that change as much as anything else," said Maria Carl, a retired Air Force colonel who serves on the Military Affairs Council of the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce. Carl didn't serve under Robinson but worked with her in her Chamber of Commerce role, when the general headed the Pacific Air Forces at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
"She has an ability to take all the different pieces of the picture and pull it together strategically," Carl said.
Robinson wasn't available for an interview before she officially started her new assignment at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.

Makes you wonder.
You know O won’t be happy until gays or transgender people command every branch of the armed services.
Bad Vlad’s shakin’ in his boots
DACOWITS strikes again.
NORAD is a big enough responsibility. Why so many other jobs? Drones can’t shoot down a TU-160 penetrating the ADIZ at high speed and low altitude, can they?
Defense Ministers of Five NATO countries (Albania, The Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Italy)
This is the Russian Defense Minister.
Just makes you feel all nice and secure, don't it?
Yeah right a female Von Moltke the Elder....
Trump should vet them for the VP spot.
Yeah but WHICH RESTROOM will she use ?
I'm pretty sure she is comfortable in the ladies room.
And she isn’t even a pilot. And we put her in charge of an entire theater. That’s our Air Force today.
“Her bio says she is married to a USAF Maj General.”
Just to be clear, since the Fraud-in-chief cares especially about “marriage”:
Robinson is married to retired Air Force Major General David A. Robinson.

Militaries exist for two reasons only:
1. Killing the enemy.
2. Breaking their things.
Is she a homo? Is she a tranny? Enquiring minds want to know.
I love they way they call a cocked up mess a “new generation of leaders”.
Someone never in combat is now the head of it all. More politics and social degeneracy in the military.
How many hours does she have in an F-15? She flew the heavies - C-5, C-141, or C-17?
