Tenth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781490459400)

This book presents material drawn from the public record of General John W. Vessey's service-22 June 1982 through 30 September 1985-as the Tenth Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Arranged in chronological order, the material is drawn from his speeches, Congressional testimony, published articles, selected correspondence and interviews. It reflects General Vessey's work to rebuild and upgrade the armed forces of the United States. Of particular interest are his efforts to improve the quality of the Joint Staff and his emphasis upon the importance of the unified and specified commands which foreshadowed important provisions of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986.
