The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who oversees the Armed Forces is Admiral Michael Mullen .
However, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is an advisoryposition, not an authoritative one. That is, all the Chiefs of Staff do not sit in the direct military chain-of-command. They (and the civilians in the office of the Secretary of Defense) are responsible for the organizational operation of the US Military, not combat operations.
After the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, the US Military chain-of-command looks like this:
- President
- Secretary of Defense
- Commander of each of the Unified Commands
The Unified Commands are essentially large theaters of operations, where the commander (who may be from any military branch) oversees all US military action in that theater.
So, to answer your question, the Leader of the various US military branches is the US President, as he is the final (ultimate) operational command authority.
