Capitalization of "chief of staff"
A formal title such as "Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo" can sometimes be capitalized: see MOS:JOBTITLES and MOS:MILTERMS, but "chief of staff" is a common noun. It is not capitalized by merriam-webster.com, ahdictionary.com or other good dictionaries. Chris the speller  yack  22:39, 2 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree. Even in the lead sentence, "he served as superintendent of West Point from 1906 to 1910 and as Chief of Staff of the United States Army", chief of staff should not be capitalized. Should be treated in the same way as "superintendent of WestPoint". Both superintendent and chief of staff are common job titles. Glendoremus (talk) 03:41, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
