The Goldwater-Nichols DOD Reorganization Act of 1986 identifies the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as the senior ranking member of the Armed Forces. As such, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the principal military adviser to the President. He may seek the advice of and consult with the other JCS members and combatant commanders. When he presents his advice, he presents the range of advice and opinions he has received, along with any individual comments of the other JCS members.
Under the DOD Reorganization Act, the Secretaries of the Military Departments assign all forces to combatant commands except those assigned to carry out the mission of the Services, i.e., recruit, organize, supply, equip, train, service, mobilize, demobilize, administer and maintain their respective forces. The chain of command to these combatant commands runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense directly to the commander of the combatant command. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff may transmit communications to the commanders of the combatant commands from the President and Secretary of Defense but does not exercise military command over any combatant forces.
They are just civilian advisors. They DO NOT HAVE COMMAND AUTHORITY OVER THE U.S. ARMED FORCES. (They do have an interesting relationship with the FBI and CIA.)
Any veteran who has been part of the Armed Forces and indoctrination within the past decade at least would know this to heart to pass boot camp.
The lack of civics knowledge is going to kill us all.
EDIT: CONFIRMED FAKE. THIS DID NOT COME FROM THE JOINT CHIEFS
I actually didn't know that. Thanks Pede. Also, this is not dated. Either this is a massive fuckup by JCS, or this is a fake.
"Every government website is a fake." --stupid disinfo shill with only civilian knowledge and no military experience.
Wew, you just called the official JCOS military website a fake.
Next congress.gov is going to be fake too.
Get the fuck out of here you trash.
Did you reply to the wrong person? I was agreeing with you....
I never said your link was fake. I'm saying the memo is fake. Or at least intended to sound like it had balls.
Yeah, my mistake, I've been dealing with a LOT of slide shills who have been trying to shoot down my benevolent advice. Usually it's a sign I'm doing something right.
Me too. No harm, no foul.
This is definitely a fake until proven otherwise. Did not come from any source within the JFS site.

Is this with regards to that signed memo that’s been floating around?
Yes. The memo is a fake. Fake News Reuters won't say where they got it and Fake News Disclose.tv got it from them. It is not on the JCS website and military twitter folks are saying they know nothing of it. It also isn't dated.
Yes, it's a reminder that the JCOS are just civilian military advisors. They do not have command authority over the operational chain of command per military law. Any veteran/active duty member who's been through indoctrination knows this.
Okay, thought I missed some other development. Grainy cellphone image of an official document, as opposed to a proper scan and upload? That story’s just obvious fake news.
then why are they always pictured in uniform ?
but:
I get that they are not in the chain of command tho
but are you getting them mixed up with the various Secretaries (civilians)
its a fake memo anyway, or not official at least. no date
Your last line is the a big part of public school.
Nothing can stop what is coming. Pence played the role Trump ordered him to...DO NOTHING. This is how the military gets involved. After all the civilian legal avenues were shown to be corrupt. Think about what would have happened had Pence done anything to benefit Trump on the 6th. Dems would unleash Antifa and BLM in all our cities. Burning, Looting , and Murdering. Pence had the courage to "do nothing". The military has all the evidence and intel on what happened and who did what. The military DESTROYED the CIA after the election. The military is going to DESTROY these people.
Why is there no date and no link to a .gov?
I was dooming pretty hard after this speech but the fact that they released this fake statement makes me realize they're still scared of what he's doing and sending out dis info shows how strong his position is... right?
Impressive
Since when do constution, law, command chains matter when you have a hostile takeover by democrats who mastered manipulation and propaganda. The military brass is receiving kickbacks from the military industry. That is all you need to know.
