Since the implementation of the reform of the squadron, we have noticed that there is a special position in the joint staff of the army - assistant chief of staff. Today, I will explain to you in detail this position and the meaning behind it.
First of all, it should be made clear that the assistant to the chief of staff is not what we often call a "personal assistant", and this understanding is actually very one-sided. In fact, an assistant chief of staff is a job title in the military that means they play an important role in the Joint Staff or other military branches. In terms of rank, they are slightly more than half a rank above the heads of internal bodies that carry out specific tasks, but they are not on an equal footing with the Deputy Chief of Staff.
Next, let's move on to an in-depth look at the structure of the Joint Staff and its associated context. In the early years, the rank of the General Staff was much higher than the official regional level, and the deputy chief of the General Staff was given the status of the Zhengda Military RegionThe subordinate subordinate departments were at the rank of regular army, so a position of "assistant chief of staff" was added between the two at that time, and his position was at the level of deputy major military districts, as part of the management of the General Staff.
In 2016, the General Staff Department underwent a major organizational adjustment and became the Joint Staff Department, its level was lowered to the level of the main theater, and the deputy chief of staff was also demoted to the rank of deputy theater lieutenant general. At the same time, the position of assistant chief of staff was also reduced, and it began to be filled by regular military posts, and the rank of major general was awarded.
In addition, this article also reveals the setting of the assistant chief of staff in the staff of the deputy theater level and the lower level of the troops. Generally speaking, the staff of a military organization at the deputy theater level to the regimental level usually has only two senior leadership positions, the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff, and there is no post of assistant chief of staff for the time being
1.The general staff of units at the sub-theater level, such as the theater army and the theater navy, have long since abolished the concept of setting up bureaus and have instead directly managed some departments and departments.
2.The staff headquarters of regular army-level units, such as army group armies and marines, as well as vice-army-level units such as air bases, will also be gradually unified into subordinate departments.
3.Division-level and brigade-level troops, such as army synthetic divisions and synthetic brigades, are no longer divided into subordinate departments, but more departments.
4.As for regimental-level troops, such as the ordinary armed police internal guard detachments, their staff headquarters have another set of "unit group" levels specially designed for themselves.
