Caroline M. Miller (born c. 1967) is a retired United States Air Force lieutenant general who served as the deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel, and services of the United States Air Force from 2022 to 2026.[1][2] She most recently served as the commander of the 502nd Air Base Wing and Joint Base San Antonio from 22 November 2020 to 3 May 2022,[3] and previously served as director of manpower, organization, and resources of United States Air Force from June 2019 to June 2020.[4]
She is the third active-duty woman in the Air Force to hold the rank of lieutenant general.[5]
Controversies
In August 2025, she reverted her predecessor decision not to allow military honors for Ashli Babbitt, a protester shot while breaking into the Capitol on January 6th.[6] The action was considered as it “would bring discredit upon the U.S. Air Force.” per then-Air Force Lt. Gen. Brian Kelly[7]
