joint chiefs of staff

The joint chiefs are the leading military advisers to the president and the secretary of defence.

The panel is made up of the chiefs of staff of the US Army and Air Force, the chief of naval operations and - in cases involving marine corps issues - the commandant of the marine corps.

The group is headed by a chairperson who is considered a spokesperson for the US military as a whole as well as the president's principal military adviser.
