'''Polish General Staff''', formally known as the '''General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces''' ([[Polish language|Polish]]: ''Sztab Generalny Wojska Polskiego'') is the highest professional body within the [[Polish Armed Forces]]. Organizationally, it is an integral part of the [[Ministry of National Defence (Poland)|Ministry of National Defence]] and the Chief of the General Staff is the highest ranking military officer at the Ministry. It was created in 1918, and was renamed the '''Main Staff''' (''Sztab Główny'') in 1928 before being reverted back to '''General Staff''' (''Sztab Generalny'') in 1945 by the Soviet backed [[Provisional Government of National Unity|Communist Government]]. Currently General [[Wiesław Kukuła]] holds the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces (''Szef Sztabu Generalnego Wojska Polskiego'').<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.polskieradio.pl/395/7784/artykul/3258352,update-polish-president-appoints-new-army-chiefs|title=Polish president appoints new army chiefs|date=2023-10-10|work=Polskie Radio|access-date=2023-10-26|language=en-EN}}</ref>

==History and structure==
On 25 October 1918, a decision was made to establish the directorate of the chief of staff of the [[Polish Army]]. On 22 December 1928 the General Staff was renamed to the '''Main Staff''' (''Sztab Główny''). In September 1939, during the [[Invasion of Poland]] by the [[Wehrmacht]] and the [[Red Army]], all the institutions of the Main Staff ceased to function and were transferred to joint German and Soviet control. On 8 August 1944, the Main Staff of the Polish Army was created by the [[Polish Committee of National Liberation]] and on 10 July 1945, the [[Provisional Government of National Unity]] reverted its name back to the General Staff of the Polish Army, the head of which was appointed Soviet-Polish General [[Vladislav Korchits]]. The [[Polish government-in-exile]] kept the previous name until the positions dissolution.

The General Staff consists of the following command personnel and organizational units at the Ministry of National Defence (MON):
