The Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) is a statuatory office held by a four-star general in the New Pangus Army. As the most senior uniformed officer assigned to serve in the Department of the Army, the CSA is the principal military adviser and a deputy to the Secretary of the Army. In a separate capacity, the CSA is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and is, thereby, a military adviser to the National Security Council, the Secretary of Defense, and the President. The CSA is typically the highest-ranking officer on active-duty in the New Pangus Army unless the Chairman and/or the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are Army officers.

The Chief of Staff of the Army is headquartered in Liberty Square, in Corvus. While the CSA does not have direct operational authority, the CSA does exercise supervision of army units and organizations as the designee of the Secretary of the Army.

Responsibilities

The Chief of Staff 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 CSA also directs the Inspector General of the Army to perform inspections and investigations as required. In addition, the CSA presides over the Army Staff and represents army capabilities, requirements, policy, plans, and programs in Joint fora.

Under delegation of authority made by the Secretary of the Army, the CSA designates army personnel and army resources to the Commanders of the Combatant Commands. The CSA performs all other functions enumerated in the Uniform Guide of the Army Leadership 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.

The Chief of Staff of the Army is nominated by the President and must be confirmed by Congress. By statute, the CSA is appointed as a four-star general.
