S 3508 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Vice Chiefs Parity Act

This bill amends U.S. military law to establish the Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau as a general (three-star rank), aligning their position with other service vice chiefs. It directly affects the leadership structure of the National Guard Bureau by changing the rank of this specific role. The key provision removes the position from rank limitations under Section 526 of Title 10, ensuring it isn't counted toward the total number of general officers allowed across the military. This is a procedural change to military rank designation, not a policy affecting operations or funding.
