Douglas replaced Field Marshal Sir John French as Chief of the Imperial General Staff on 6 April 1914. Douglas served in that role during the First World War, which started in August 1914, but did not have any major impact on its conduct during the first three months, leaving strategic control to Field Marshal Lord Kitchener as War Minister. He became Aide-de-Camp General to the King on 30 June 1914.
