Chief of Staff of the Air Force (Surea)

The Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) is typically the highest ranking officer in the Republic of Surea Air Force (unless the chairman and/or the vice chairman are air force officers) and is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The CSAF heads the Air Staff and reports directly to the Secretary of the Air Force on matters of the Air Force. Under the authority of the secretary, the CSAF is responsible for the organization, training, and equipping of more than 700,000 air force personnel in Surea.

The CSAF is nominated for appointment by the President and must be confirmed via majority vote by the National Assembly. By statute, the CSAF is appointed as a four-star general. Like the other Joint Chiefs, the CSAF is an administrative position, with no operational command authority over the Republic of Surea Air Force. The current Air Force Chief of Staff is General Ninakami.
