Talk:Joint Chiefs of Staff

message: just noticed this edit, but also couldn't help but notice the seemingly very deliberate order in which the Chiefs are standing in this image, which is also in the same section as the list you edited. Thoughts? - wolf 01:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're debating the order of precedence among the service chiefs, excluding the chairman and vice chairman, regulations dictate that precedence is based on which service chief assumed office first. When it comes to order of precedence among the services, the National Guard is last due to it not being an actual service; it is a reserve component. Neovu79 (talk) 02:09, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No debate, just looking for info to clarify, which I figured you'd have. Thanks for the feedback. - wolf 03:55, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. Just in case, HERE is a list of the U.S. Order of Precedence as of 30 October 2020. The order for service chiefs are found under 24c and d. Neovu79 (talk) 05:30, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

message: One of the graphics shows the U.S. Coast Guard as a military service.  They are not, but they are an armed service.  The military  services are the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.190.199 (talk) 01:03, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: More precisely, each of the eight uniformed services of the United States can be militarized, if need be. So the Coast Guard could be a military service, given the circumstance. --Ancheta Wis    (talk  | contribs) 13:24, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been discussed multiple times in the past and periodically this subject surfaces in the discussions on the military.  The Coast Guard and its predecessor service, the Revenue Cutter Service have served along side its sister services in almost every war that the United States has been involved in. Study a history of the Coast Guard and the Revenue Cutter Service. Just because the Coast Guard is not a part of the Department of Defense does not preclude it from military duties. Perhaps one should examine your definition of "military"? One of the eleven statutory missions of the Coast Guard is defense. The other ten missions are conducted on a daily basis along with defense training. The U.S. Coast Guard Reserve is funded by the Defense Department and and a portion of the Reserve has been stationed in the Middle East since Operation Desert Shield on a rotating basis. They assist the Navy with operations in the Gulf. The U.S. Coast Guard is military service in all respects. Cuprum17 (talk) 14:05, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
