The Vice Chiefs Parity Act of 2023 (S. 2177) aims to ensure equal rank among vice chiefs within the U.S. military. The bill specifically addresses the rank of the Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Key provisions include:

  • Grade of General: Mandates that the Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau be appointed to the grade of general.
  • Exclusion from Officer Limitations: Directs the Secretary of Defense to designate the position of Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau as exempt from general and flag officer position limitations, as outlined in section 526a of title 10, United States Code.
In essence, the bill seeks to elevate the position of Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau to parity with other vice chiefs by ensuring it is a general-grade position and exempting it from certain officer limitations.
