Duke A. Pirak (born c. 1972) is a United States Air Force major general who serves as the deputy director of the Air National Guard. He previously served as the deputy director for politico-military affairs (Asia) of the Joint Staff.[1][2]
In March 2024, Pirak was nominated for promotion to lieutenant general and appointment as director of the Air National Guard.[3] His nomination has been placed on hold, due to concerns over possible Air National Guard staffing changes, in regards to full-time positions being converted to lower-paying jobs in Alaska.[4] His nomination was later returned to the president without action.[3]
