QUARTERMASTERGENERAL

Quartermaster general

A quartermaster general is the staff officer in charge of supplies for a whole army. In the Imperial German Army, while a Quartiermeister was a non-commissioned officer in charge of supplies, a Generalquartiermeister did not deal with supplies, but with operational command. He was the most senior officer below an Army's Chief of Staff.
