After the 572AER reorganization of the military undertaken by the Military Reform Act, the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not have operational command of military forces. Responsibility for conducting military operations goes from the Chancellor to the Secretary of Defense directly to service branch leaders. Today, their primary responsibility is to ensure the personnel readiness, policy, planning and training of their respective military services for the combatant commanders to utilize. The Joint Chiefs of Staff also act in a military advisory capacity for the Chancellor and the Secretary of Defense. In addition, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff acts as the chief military advisor to the Chancellor and the Secretary of Defense. In this strictly advisory role, the Joint Chiefs constitute the second-highest deliberatory body for military policy, after the National Defense Council, which includes the Chancellor and other officials besides the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. While serving as chairman or Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marshal of the Air Force, Field Marshal or Fleet Admiral the salary is $20,263.50 a month, regardless of cumulative years of service completed.
