Vice Chief of Staff of the Army

Flagge des Vice Chief of Staff of the Army

Der Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (VCSA; dt. etwa: stellvertretender Generalstabschef der US Army) ist der erste Berater und Vertreter des Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA).

Die Dienststellung des VCSA setzt den Dienstgrad eines Generals und die Zustimmung des US-Senats voraus.

Da die Dienstgrade Lieutenant General und General in den US-Streitkräften nur temporär vergeben werden, muss der Offizier einen angemessenen Posten bekleiden. Tut er dies nicht, muss er innerhalb von 60 Tagen in den Ruhestand gehen oder degradiert werden.[1] Wenn die Regierung einen Offizier für eine Position vorgesehen hat, die noch nicht frei ist, muss sie ihn auf einem angemessenen Posten „parken“. Generale die für eine spätere Verwendung „geparkt“ werden müssen, werden oft als Vizegeneralstabschef ihrer Teilstreitkraft oder als Kommandierender General des US Southern Command eingesetzt.
