They’re probably talking about the NATO post that is connected to EUSA. Yep, just checked. It’s a NATO slot, so no big deal. And by chief of staff, the talking about his serving as a staff officer for a 3 star who outranks him.
It would be like Eisenhower having Brits on his staff during WWII.
Hmmm, I’ll think about that. I assume Ike liked the Brits?
