Additionally, the Staff also wrote the regulations and historical works. Following the placement under the General Command in 1932, it took over its daily administration.[2] There were two departments within the General Staff, the Command department which stood for the daily administration, and the General Staff department responsible for war preparations.[2]
In times of war, General Staff personnel would join command staffs and serve as advisors during military operations.[2]
