The National Security Act of 1947 first created the council called the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was made by law the highest ranking military officer in the United States Armed Forces. He is the principal military adviser to the President of the United States, the National Security Council, the Homeland Security Council and the Secretary of Defense.

Then President Eisenhower named him Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thus making him the first member of the Air Force to serve in that role.

A real rarity, this is the only Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff appointment that we have ever carried.
