		Although generals have always provided themselves with aides-dc-camp and orderlies, the only official corresponding to a modern staff officer in a 16th or 17th century army was the sergeant-major-general or major-general, in whom was vested the responsibility of forming the army in.
		This principle, owing to the peculiar circumstances of the German army, was carried to an extreme in the case of the chiefs of staff.
		Thus the chief of the general staff is defined in the British Field Service Regulations as the generals responsible adviser on all matters affecting military operations, through whom he exercises his functions of command and by whom all orders issued by him will be signed.
