similar model to the marine corps where the commandant of the marine corps is a member of the joint chiefs of staff but under the department of the navy. i think the head of the space force is going to be a member of the joint chiefs of staff at some point but under the department of the air force. i think that's how you keep that small. that's how you keep the bureaucracy from going crazy. that's why you don't have all the replication of support you'd have to have across the board. >> thank you, again, general hyten. >> thank you, sir. >> thank you. senator tillis. >> thank you, mr. chairman, ranking member for the process that we've played out here. general hyten, thank you for being here. congratutions to your family for your nomination. i want to get an idea of your headquarters staff. how big is it? how many direct reports do you have? >> the headquarter staff is about 3500 people. direct reports is a fairly small number. i would say roughly 10 to 20. >> okay. and 10 to 20 direct reports. over the course of a day, how much time do you spend with your direct reports, and how much time with you
