Chief of Defence Staff (CDS).

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The CDS acts as the Principal Military Advisor to the Defence Minister on all tri-service matters and is the Permanent Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee. Statement 2 is incorrect because the CDS will not exercise any military command, including over the three Service Chiefs, to be able to provide impartial advice to the political leadership.
