The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation ( Russian Генеральный штаб Вооружённых сил Российской Федерации ) is the central body of the military command of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the main body of operational control of the Russian Federation .

In accordance with the decisions of the President of Russia (Commander in Chief) and the Minister of Defense, the General Staff manages the armed forces, organizes defense planning of the Russian Federation, mobilization training and mobilization, and also coordinates the activities of other troops, military and special formations in the defense field.

The Day of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia is celebrated on January 25.

In 2004, the main tasks and functions of the General Staff were clarified. As part of the administrative reform, a number of functions and tasks were deleted: administrative and economic. As part of the military reform initiated in 2008, the Ministry of Defense established two functional areas of responsibility: the first plans to deploy the armed forces, the second to deploy troops. A transition has been made to a three-stage principle of responsibility: the chief commanders are responsible for combat training, the general staff, combined strategic commands and formations are responsible for operational training. As a result of the transformations, the General Staff was freed from dual functions and became a full-fledged strategic planning body that organizes and manages the armed forces .
