The General Staff of the Imperial Guard is not a coherent organisation; the term is principally used to describe all officers who serve in the command echelons above those of [[regiment]]al level. Most commanding officers in the staff category carry some form of General's rank, but more junior officers can also be found in the General Staff; they are drawn from regiments to act as aides and administrative assistants. They do not exercise individual authority and merely act as conduits between their superiors and other officers. A position common in the General Staff is that of '''[[Imperial Tactician]]''', a non-command rank that nevertheless is vital.{{Fn|1b}} Trained staff officers, Tacticians help to devise and organise battle plans and strategy.{{Fn|1a}} The [[Lord General]] is the highest rank available inside the General Staff, and one with a multitude of official designations.{{Fn|2}}  According to another source the , a General Staff staff is subordinate to the formed around a [[Lord General Militant]] (or equivalent) and consists of the [[Lord Marshal]], [[Captain-General (Imperial Guard)|Captain-General]] and [[Lord Castellan]] and the Staff Officers of Ranks from [[General]] to [[Lieutenant (Imperial Guard)|Lieutenant]].{{Fn|2}}
