United States. War Department. General Staff

About the author

The United States. War Department. General Staff served as the strategic hub for military planning and coordination during major conflicts. As an institutional author, its publications provided comprehensive analyses of both friendly and adversarial military forces, playing a critical role in shaping wartime strategy and post-war assessments.

One of its notable contributions is the work Histories of two hundred and fifty-one divisions of the German army which participated in the war (1914-1918), which offers an in-depth examination of the structure, tactics, and operational histories of enemy divisions during World War I. This publication not only demonstrates the analytical rigor of the General Staff but also serves as an essential resource for military historians and strategists.

The legacy of the General Staff is evident in its lasting influence on military doctrine and its role in fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities of modern warfare.
