Disambiguation: Refers to the Chief of Staff position within the United States military hierarchy, primarily the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA), while also encompassing membership in the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). Not to be confused with civilian Chief of Staff positions in government agencies.
The Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) is the highest-ranking officer in the Department of the Army, established in 1903. The position serves as the principal military advisor to the Secretary of the Army and holds membership in the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), established under the National Security Act of 1947. The CSA advises the President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Council on military matters but exercises no direct operational command authority over Army forces since 1958. In the UAP domain, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been involved in early UFO coordination discussions (1947 onward) and, as of 2023, issued official Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena reporting templates and directives mandating UAP incident reporting across all Department of Defense services.
