Lori Robinson was officially named as the next nominee to lead US Northern Command (NORTHCOM) on Friday, setting her up to be the first woman to lead a combatant command in Pentagon history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement, made by Secretary of Defense Ash Carter at a breakfast event, was largely expected, with Defense News, among others, reporting in January that Robinson was the likely pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If confirmed by the Senate, she would replace\u00a0Adm.\u00a0Bill Gortney, who held the\u00a0position\u00a0since December\u00a02014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seen as a rising star in the Air Force, Robinson has shot through the ranks, adding a star a year from 2012 through 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June 2012, just before current Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh took office, Robinson was a two-star serving as deputy commander, US Air Forces Central Command; less than a year later, she pinned on her third star in May 2013 and became vice commander, Air Combat Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then in October 2014, she pinned on her fourth star and took over as commander, Pacific Air Forces. With the PACAF assignment, Robinson became the first US female four-star to command combat forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: <a href=\"mailto:amehta@defensenews.com\">amehta@defensenews.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twitter: <a href=\"http:\/\/Twitter.com\/AaronMehta\">@AaronMehta<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gen.
