USA:s arméstabschef (engelska: Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) är den högste militäre befattningshavaren inom USA:s armédepartement och är direkt underställd och biträder arméministern (Secretary of the Army) som är den formella chefen för armén och denne är ansvarig inför försvarsministern för arméns beredskap samt dess förmåga att upprätthålla krigsdugliga förband. Arméstabschefen har enligt den lag som fastställer ämbetet graden som 4-stjärning general och utses av presidenten med senatens råd och samtycke.^[1]

Arméstabschefen, liksom arméministern, saknar dock operativa befogenheter över arméförbanden. Han är enkelt uttryckt precis som titeln anger stabschef, inte en operativ befälhavare, utan presiderar över arméstaben i Pentagon. Arméstabschefen är också förutom sin roll inom armédepartementet även arméns representant i Joint Chiefs of Staff, det yrkesmilitära organ som ger militärstrategiska råd till nationella säkerhetsrådet, försvarsministern och presidenten. Såvida inte försvarschefen eller vice försvarschefen är arméofficerare är arméstabschefen den yrkesofficer på aktiv stat i armén med högst rang.

För närvarande innehas posten av James C. McConville som är den 40:e i ordningen sedan ämbetet inrättades 1903.

Historik

Före 1903 var titeln på den högsta yrkesmilitären i armén Commanding General of the United States, men ändrades som en del av organisationsreformerna som genomfördes av krigsminister Elihu Root. Innan National Security Act of 1947 skapade dagens försvarsorganisation var krigsministern arméstabschefens chef.
