Directing Staff

Directing Staff are the military officers who comprise the permanent instructional staff at a military staff college. They are customarily one rank higher than the officers undergoing instruction.


Famous quotes containing the word staff:

    “For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
    For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
    For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
    For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
    For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
    For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
    —Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
