Chief of Staff Yousef al-Manqous is said to favor Cyrenaican militias over the military units under his command, while government officials complain about the lack of an effective chain of command. For example, in June, Defense Minister Osama al-Juwali attacked the NTC for failing to consult with the appropriate officials on its decisions, stating that his role had been reduced to “signing the plans of the chief of staff.”
这样的庇护也牵涉到军事编制本身。Yousef al-Manqous参谋长据传偏向手下昔兰尼加民兵更胜于军队，而政府官员则抱怨缺乏有效的指挥体系。比方说六月，国防部长朱瓦利即攻击全国过渡委员会决策时并未与有关官员商议，并称他的作用仅仅是在“参谋长的计划书上签字”。
