Washington D.C. (July 5, 2022) Dr. William A. LaPlante Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and Lt. Gen. Eric Fick listen to remarks from Lt. Gen. Michael Schmidt during a semi-virtual Change of Leadership ceremony at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C., where Lt. Gen. Eric Fick transferred authorities and duties of the F-35 Joint Program Office via Dr. William A. LaPlante to Lt. Gen. Michael Schmidt. The F-35 Joint Program Office is the Department of Defense's focal point for the 5th generation strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35, which has been operational since July of 2015, is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.
