The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Pelinai (Pelinese: ペリナイ王国軍参謀本部, Perinai Ōkoku Sanbō Honbu; Stelossian: Генеральный Штаб Вооруженных Сил Пелинской Королевстве, General’nyy Shtab Vooruzhonykh Sil Pelinskoy Korolevstve), also known informally as the Pelinese General Staff, the Genshtab, or the GSh VS KP, is the general staff and highest military administrative structure of the Pelinese Armed Forces. It is the central management, organizational, and operational-strategic planning entity of the armed forces, responsible for long-term capabilities development, creation of operational-strategic level military doctrine, coordination of mobilization resources, formulation of military plans, operation of military education institutions for higher military officers, and the operation of the military intelligence service.

The GSh VS KP is led by the Chief of General Staff, whose office oversees all activities of the General Staff; the post is normally held by a former Director of the Main Directorate of Operations. A deputy Chief of General Staff assists the Chief of General Staff in management of day-to-day operations. Both posts are appointed by the Prime Minister.

History

The current iteration of the Pelinese general staff was formed in 1979 following the White Revolution, with predecessors in both the General Staff of the Belogoran People’s Army and the pre-1975 Pelinese general staff. During this time it functioned as the main military representative body of the Pelinese White Army and the executive component of the Supreme High Command, with the Directorate of Military Operations above it fulfilling primarily administrative tasks such as managing material support for the White Army, directing the mobilization of personnel, and coordinating military support activities with other components of the Provisional Government. Its primary responsibility was to translate the strategic directives of the Supreme High Command into military plans and direct the armed forces in the execution of such directives.

Following the conclusion of the Pelinese Civil War and the need to restructure the Pelinese Provisional Government and the military for the organizational requirements of an established state, the General Staff was included in the scope of the 1983-1984 Pelinese military reform. Under the military reform, operational control of the new High Commands of Forces was reassigned from the General Staff to the newly created Minister of Defense position and the General Staff was re-tasked with strategic planning, long-term capabilities development, and organization of the conscription/mobilization apparatus.
