The "General Staff" is a group of senior military officers responsible for planning and coordinating military operations. This organization ensures that all branches of the military work together effectively during peacetime and wartime. The General Staff typically includes experts in various fields, such as logistics, intelligence, and strategy. In many countries, the General Staff operates under the direction of the Minister of Defense or the Chief of Staff. Their primary role is to provide strategic guidance and support to military leaders, helping to develop plans that align with national security objectives.
