Staff (military)
A military staff, often referred to as General Staff, Army Staff, Navy Staff or Air Staff within the individual services, is a group of officers and enlisted personnel that provides a bi-directional flow of information between a commanding officer and subordinate military units. A staff also provides an executive function which filters information needed by the commander, or shunts unnecessary information to a more appropriate tasker, handling the matter which would be an unnecessary distraction for the Commanding Officer at a more appropriate level. In a generic command staff, more seasoned and senior officers oversee staff sections of groups organized by the needs of the unit, Senior Enlisted Personnel task personnel in the maintenance of tactical equipment and vehicles. Senior Analysts are tasked with the finalizing of reports, and enlisted personnel participate in the acquisition of information from subordinate staffs and units. This hierarchy places decision making and reporting under the auspices of the most experienced personal and maximizes information flow into and pertinent information sent out of the command overall clarifying matters overall, and freeing up the most senior members of the command at each level for decision making and direction of further research or information gathering, perhaps requiring men to put their lives at risk to gather additional intelligence. The general purpose of a military staff is mainly that of providing accurate, timely information (including contingency planning) on which command decisions are based. The key application is that of being able to suggest and make well informed decisions that effectively conserve and manage unit resources. While information flow toward the commander is a priority, information that is useful or contingent in nature is communicated to lower staffs and units or redirected to the command level which can best utilize the condition or information. Operations staff officers also are tasked with battle planning both for offensive and defensive conditions, and of issuing contingency plans for such future situations such as might be anticipated during a foreseeable future.
