Greater General Staff

The Greater General Staff was a high-level military organization in the Soviet Union responsible for strategic planning, coordination, and command across different branches like army, navy, and air force. Think of it as the central hub where top military leaders worked together to develop overall war strategies, manage resources, and ensure unified operations. It played a crucial role during wartime and was similar to what other countries refer to as a General Staff or Joint Chiefs of Staff. Its purpose was to streamline decision-making and maintain coordinated military effort at the national level.
