Joint Chiefs

The Joint Chiefs were a pre-War advisory board.

Background
Before the War, the Enclave included members of the Joints Chiefs. A. Vince, a colonel in the United States Air Force and the deputy director of strategic planning for the Joints Chiefs, was granted residency in Vault 76. The Joint Chiefs commissioned an experimental suit of power armor, which was functional before the war.

In mid-December 2075, the Predictive Analytic Machine at The Switchboard concluded that there was a high likelihood the Chinese had performed large scale experimentation with Stealth technology but command stationed at the Defense Intelligence Agency facility refused to share this info with the JCS due to a lack of evidence. In the early morning of October 23, 2077, the commander of the United States Navy Pacific Fleet reported three underwater submersible objects off the coast of California. The Joint Chiefs advised on how to proceed.

After the war, MODUS recruited Vault Dwellers from Vault 76 to join the Enclave, earn commendations, resulting in an appointment to the Joint Chiefs. This gave the Vault Dwellers the capability to use Appalachian Automated Launch System and launch a nuclear missile at the Scorchbeast queen.

Appearances
The Joint Chiefs are mentioned in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
