General Knowledge

The Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) is a senior military officer position, typically held by a general from any of the armed services, but usually from a service other than the Chief of Army Staff (COAS). It is not always from the Navy or Air Force, but rather a separate post.
