Franchetti is a surface warfare officer who spent her formative years in the Navy serving on and then commanding destroyers before assuming higher, fleet-wide positions.
President Joe Biden nominated Franchetti Friday, June 21. If confirmed by the Senate, she would be the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and to hold the top position in any military branch.
