US Military Chain Of Command And Army Basic Knowledge Practice Test

The position of Army Chief of Staff is the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. Army and serves as the principal military adviser to the Secretary of the Army and the President on Army matters. This role is held by a four-star general who oversees overall readiness, modernization, and policy for the Army, and is appointed by the President with Senate confirmation. General Randy Alan George is the person who holds that post, having been chosen for the job and confirmed to serve as the Army’s top uniformed leader. The other options do not fit because they refer to different roles or ranks: a Command Sergeant Major is the senior noncommissioned officer, not the Chief of Staff; a Brigadier General is a one-star general; a Lieutenant General is a three-star general. Only the four-star general fits the Chief of Staff position.
