S 2177 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Vice Chiefs Parity Act of 2023

This bill changes the rank of the Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau to "general" (a four-star rank), aligning it with the rank of other top military leadership positions. It also removes this position from officer strength limits under military personnel rules. The bill directly affects the National Guard Bureau's leadership structure by formally establishing the Vice Chief's rank and status within the military hierarchy. The change is procedural, focusing on rank designation rather than operational policy.
