Chief of Staff of the Army
Der Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA, deutsch etwa Generalstabschef des Heeres) ist der ranghöchste Offizier der United States Army.
Auftrag
Der CSA ist ein General, der dem Secretary of the Army (Staatssekretär des Heeres) unterstellt ist. Wie die Generalstabschefs der anderen Teilstreitkräfte der Streitkräfte der Vereinigten Staaten hat er keine direkte operative Befehlsgewalt, sondern stellt die Einsatzfähigkeit der ihm unterstellten Streitkräfte sicher. Das direkte Kommando der Truppen übernehmen die Kommandeure der Unified Combatant Commands.
Als Mitglied der Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), dem Generalstab der US-Streitkräfte, ist der CSA der Hauptberater des Präsidenten in Fragen, die die Armee betreffen.
Sein Stellvertreter ist der Vice Chief of Staff of the Army. Vor 1903 war der militärische Kopf der US Army der Commanding General of the United States Army.
Vergleichbare Dienstposten in den anderen Truppengattungen
Entsprechende Posten in den US-Streitkräften sind: Chief of Naval Operations (US Navy), Commandant of the Marine Corps (US Marine Corps), Chief of Staff of the Air Force (US Air Force).
