Thechief of staff of the Army (CSA) is a statutory position in theUnited States Army held by a general officer. As the highest-ranking officer assigned to serve in theDepartment of the Army, the chief is the principalmilitary advisor and a deputy to thesecretary of the Army. In a separate capacity, the CSA is a member of theJoint Chiefs of Staff (10 U.S.C. § 151) and, thereby, a military advisor to theNational Security Council, thesecretary of defense, and thepresident of the United States. The CSA is typically the highest-ranking officer onactive duty in the U.S. Army unless thechairman or thevice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are Army officers.

The chief of staff of the Army is an administrative position based inthe Pentagon. While the CSA does not have operational command authority over Army forces proper (which is within the purview of thecombatant commanders who report to the secretary of defense), the CSA does exercise supervision of army units and organizations as the designee of the secretary of the Army.

The current chief of staff of the Army is GeneralRandy George, who was sworn in on 21 September 2023, having previously served as acting CSA from 4 August.

Appointment

[edit]

The chief of staff of the Army is nominated for appointment by the president, for a four-year term of office,^[1] and must be confirmed by theSenate.^[1] The chief can be reappointed to serve one additional term, but only during times of war or national emergency declared by Congress.^[1] By statute, the chief is a four-stargeneral.^[1]

The chief has an official residence,Quarters 1 atJoint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, Virginia.

Responsibilities

[edit]

The senior leadership of the Department of the Army consists of two civilians—thesecretary of the Army (head of the department and subordinate to the secretary of defense) and theunder secretary of the Army—and two military officers—the chief of staff of the Army and thevice chief of staff of the Army.

The chief reports directly to the secretary of the Army for army matters and assists in the secretary's external affairs functions, including presenting and enforcing army policies, plans, and projections. The chief also directs the inspector general of the Army to perform inspections and investigations as required. In addition, the chief presides over theArmy Staff and represents Army capabilities, requirements, policy, plans, and programs in Joint forums.^[2] Under delegation of authority made by the secretary of the Army, the chief designates army personnel and army resources to the commanders of the unified combatant commands.^[3] The chief performs all other functions enumerated in10 U.S.C. § 3033 under the authority, direction, and control of the secretary of the Army, or delegates those duties and responsibilities to other officers in his administration in his name. Like the other service counterparts, the chief has no operational command authority over army forces, dating back to the passage of the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958. The chief is served by a number of deputy chiefs of staff of the Army, such asG-1, Personnel. The chief's base pay is $21,147.30 per month and also received a personal money allowance (monthly amount) of $333.33, a basic allowance for subsistence of $253.38, and a basic allowance for housing from $50.70 to $1,923.30.

History

[edit]

In the19th century the American land military used the title of "General-in-Chief" beginning with Gen.James Wilkinson (1757-1825), and later for several decades of commanding Gen.Winfield Scott (1786-1866). Later Lt. Gen.Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), given the title after being recalled to come east from the Western Theater of the Civil War in 1864. By 1903, the senior military officer in the army was thecommanding general of the United States Army, who reported to the U.S.secretary of war. From 1864 to 1865, Major GeneralHenry Halleck (1815-1872), who had previously been Commanding General earlier in the war, served as "Chief of Staff of the Army" under the newly appointed Commanding General, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, thus serving in a different office and not as the senior officer in the army. Halleck was centered in the old brickWar Department building adjacent west of theWhite House, along with the War Secretary, whereas Gen. Grant was out in the field.

The first chief of staff moved his headquarters toFort Myer in northern Virginia, near the national capital ofWashington, D.C. in 1908.^{[clarification needed]}
