The General Staff of Denmark was a top authority in the Royal Danish Army and was responsible for war preparations (training and education), studies and planning.^[1]

Additionally, the Staff also wrote the regulations and historical works. Following the placement under the General Command in 1932, it took over its daily administration.^[2] There were two departments within the General Staff, the Command department which stood for the daily administration, and the General Staff department responsible for war preparations.^[2]

In times of war, General Staff personnel would join command staffs and serve as advisors during military operations.^[2]
