What is Chief of the General Staff?
The '''Chief of the General Staff''' is the most senior [[officer]] of the [[British Army]]. The current holder of the post is General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith, appointed in June 2018. For many years, until after [[World War II]], the title used was Chief of the Imperial General Staff. This was supposed to show that all of the armies of the [[British Empire]] were united under one [[command (military)|command]]. As countries gained [[independence]], this was not the case.
