The Joint Chiefs of Staff operate as the President’s senior collective military advisers, converting strategic dilemmas into executable options and presenting tightly disciplined, data‑rich briefings. They collate battlefield counts, satellite imagery, and HUMINT, then translate technical assessments into immediate courses of action for civilian leadership. In the processed material they assemble in the Situation Room—including the chairman, Admiral Fitzwallace—stand to greet the President, and deliver a sober, procedural appraisal of an India–Pakistan escalation. Their authority derives from institutional protocol, professional rigor, and obligation to civilian decision-making.
