2026150 Years of the General Staff - Sheetlets CTO

As a military institution, the General Staff originated in the early 19th century in Prussia, when it was first formed as part of reforms aimed at adapting the military organization to changes in warfare brought about by the emergence of large national armies and the rapid development of military technology. Since that time, it has participated in the creation and development of the concept of defence for the entire country, drawing up war plans, conceiving and developing military doctrine and strategy, planning the development, organization and structure of the defence system and mobilization readiness, organizing war planning, and coordinating the development of infrastructure and the arrangement of the state territory for waging war.
