Unfortunately, as I was posting the list of admirals, I somehow managed to delete the list of generals. I've been able to reassemble most of them from their official biographies. I've included photographs when they were available. Some of these officers were promoted after leaving TDC but they were all brigadier generals while serving as TDC Chief of Staff.
If anyone can provide the missing names or photographs, I'd be most grateful.

The Chief of Staff 64-67 was BGEN Kenneth O. Sanborn. I don't know exact dates.
According to his Air Force biography, he was in Taipei from 1960 to 1965, filling various positions including Chief of MAAG.
Based on John's comment and the bio, I think for now I'll plug him in for the period 1964-1965 as TDC Chief of Staff. If I find out otherwise later, I'll change it.
He was Commander of the 13th AF
in, at least 60-62, if the 60-65
is correct.
I think you have the dates right on Sutterlin and Sanborn. I sent you a photo of the group of officers at the change of command in 1962 and at the far right is Sutterlin. Melson was speaking and you can see Smoot in the ranks with everyone else. I also may have told you that the first day anyone could go out after Typhoon Gloria Sept 63 I saw Sanborn in civies walking down Canal Rd. going away from TDC as I was walking towards it. I didn't know if I should salute or not and decided not to. I'll email the photo again of the group of officers.
Another thing about Sutterlin. I wonder if I took the portrait of him? No way of telling I guess, but we did shoot officer portraits
