The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) is an advisory body of senior uniformed leaders of the New Pangus Defense Forces who advise the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Council, and the President of New Pangus on military matters. The composition of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is defined by statute and consists of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of New Pangus (VCJCS), and the Military Service Chiefs from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Chief of Staff of the New Pangus Army, all appointed by the President following Congressional confirmation.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff do not have operational command authority, neither individually nor collectively, as the chain of command goes from the President to the Secretary of Defense, and from the Secretary of Defense to the Commanders of the Combatant Commands. The Joint Staff (JS) is a headquarters staff in the Liberty Square, composed of personnel from each of the three Department of Defense armed services, that assists the Chairman and the Vice Chairman in discharging their responsibilities and is managed by the Director of the Joint Staff (DJS) who is a lieutenant general or Navy vice admiral.
