The original Army Staff was created following the first major restructuring following the
Second World War, and consisted of the
General Staff. It was responsible for war preparations (training and education), studies and planning. It supported the
Army Command. After the Army Command was subjugated to the
Defence Command in 1976, the Army Staff became the main command of the Army. Following the 1988 Defence Commission, it was decided that the Army Staff and the positions of Inspector of the Army would be disbanded and replaced with the
Army Operational Command. Following the
Danish Defence Agreement 2013–17, the Army Operational Command was disbanded, re-establishing the Army Staff. As part of the
Danish Defence Agreement 2018–23, the Army Staff was abolished and changed to the Army Command again. ==Chief of the Army Staff==
