History

The Army General Staff was created on 16 November 1811, at the request of the First Triumvirate.[1] The first leader of the General Staff was Colonel Francisco Javier de Viana.

On 2 January 1884, within the broader context of the reorganization of the country's military forces, the President of Argentina and Lieutenant general Julio Argentino Roca, decreed that the creation of the Army General Staff position was a permanent change.[2]
