Military Leadership: Joint Chiefs of Staff

Admiral Mullen is responsible for ensuring that our armed forces are fighting current wars as effectively as possible, and for safeguarding the long-term health of the United States military. Abroad, Admiral Mullen is fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, while also keeping an eye on developments in China, Pakistan and Iran. At home, he is overseeing a report on the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, streamlining the military's budgets to make them more efficient, and working to meet military recruitment and retention goals.
