The new command-and-staff college reserves its chancellorship for a retired flag or general officer to provide stability and reduce internal politics. Its chancellor reports to a board nominated by the defence secretary and appointed by the president. The chief of defence staff controls the curriculum, uniformed appointments, and budget. The chancellor can appeal decisions with which he disagrees. The fictional arrangement preserves senior military experience while giving the college an explicit chain of oversight.
