An extant Joint Chiefs is mentioned in Howling Wilderness several times. It's stated that on 02 June 1998 the Joint Chiefs of Staff sent Army units to respond to the Mexican invasion. It's subsequently stated that by 19 April 1999 General Cummings is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. After that point the Cummings becomes head of MilGov.
Whether it's the same people that were in post pre TDM or they are post TDM replacements isn't stated anywhere as far as I know but there is definitely an intact JCS structure from June 1998 onwards (and by inference I would say all the way through, i.e. the individuals may not have all personally survived the TDM but I think the institution did).
