Commander-in-chief of the British Armed Forces

The Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces is a position vested in the British monarch,〔(Parliament ) Speaker addresses Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, 20 March 2012 (daily example that You set, mirrored by our courageous armed forces of which You are Commander-in-Chief, is extraordinary."'' )〕〔(The Prince of Wales ) ''The Queen appoints The Prince of Wales to Honorary Five-Star rank'' 16 June 2012〕 currently Queen Elizabeth II, who as Sovereign and head of state is the "Head of the Armed Forces".〔(Queen and Armed Forces ), royal.gov.uk.〕 Long-standing constitutional convention, however, has vested ''de facto'' executive authority, by the exercise of Royal Prerogative powers, in the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Defence, and the Prime Minister (acting with the support of the Cabinet) makes the key decisions on the ''use'' of the armed forces. The Queen, however, remains the "ultimate authority" of the military, with officers and personnel swearing allegiance only to the monarch.
==Command organisation==
The Ministry of Defence is the Government department and highest level of military headquarters charged with formulating and executing defence policy for the Armed Forces; it employed 103,930 civilians in 2006.〔(Civilian personnel by budgetary area and grade equivalence, at 1 April each year ), dasa.mod.uk〕〔( Defence Organisation ), mod.uk〕 The department is controlled by the Secretary of State for Defence (or "the Defence Secretary") and contains three deputy appointments: Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Minister for Defence Procurement, and Minister for Veterans' Affairs.
Responsibility for the management of the forces is delegated to a number of committees: the Defence Council, Chiefs of Staff Committee, Defence Management Board, and three single-service boards. The Defence Council, composed of senior representatives of the services and the Ministry of Defence, provides the "formal legal basis for the conduct of defence".〔〔(Defence Council and Chief of the Defence Staff ), armedforces.co.uk〕 The three constituent single-service committees (Admiralty Board, Army Board, and Air Force Board) are chaired by the Secretary of State for Defence.
The Chief of the Defence Staff is the professional head of the Armed Forces and is an appointment that can be held by an Admiral, General or Air Chief Marshal (four-star officers). Before the practice was discontinued in the 1990s, those who were appointed to the position of CDS (head of the Armed Forces) had been elevated to the most senior rank in their respective service (a five-star officer).〔Hansard (1998), (House of Commons Written Answers ), publications.parliament.uk〕 The CDS, along with the Permanent Under Secretary, are the principal advisers to the departmental minister. The three services have their own respective professional chiefs: the First Sea Lord who is also Chief of Naval Staff, the Chief of the General Staff and the Chief of the Air Staff.
