It is headed by the Assistant Secretary of State for Southern and Central Asian Affairs, currently Robert O. Blake. There is a Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs, Patrick Moon, and a Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs, George Krol.

While the regional ambassadors report to it, special envoys such as Richard Holbrooke report to a more senior level.
