Air Force Brig. Gen. Peter M. Bonetti has been nominated for promotion to major general, the Department of War announced on June 24, 2026 at 7:00 AM CST.

Here is the full post (see war.gov): “Air Force Brig. Gen.Peter M. Bonetti for appointment to the grade of major general. Bonetti is currently serving as director, Strategic Plans, Programs and Requirements, Headquarters Air Force Global Strike Command, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana.”

Bonetti currently serves as director, Strategic Plans, Programs and Requirements, Headquarters Air Force Global Strike Command, at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. The role places him at the center of strategic planning for a command vital to national defense operations (see Google). The nomination remains subject to Senate confirmation, and the higher rank would expand his leadership and responsibilities (see Google).

The nomination is one of 109 officer nominations announced so far this year. Hawaii leads all states with 10 total nominations, while the Army holds the most among military services with 74. At the same point in 2025, the database recorded only 26 officer nominations, and the previous nomination announcement occurred 21 days earlier.

A major general nomination marks a proposed advancement to two-star rank within the U.S. Air Force. The promotion would strengthen Bonetti’s authority over strategic planning within Air Force Global Strike Command.
