==Other Chief of Defence positions by (non-NATO and non-EU) country==
Note that in many countries outside of NATO and EU, the concept of [[civilian control of the military]] is inapplicable. In some countries the [[Ministry of defence|minister of defence]] is often a senior military officer. However, the list below only lists CHOD equivalents and ''not'' defense ministers.
