Stavka of the Supreme Commander (Russian: Ставка Верховного главнокомандующего) was the administrative staff of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Imperial Russia, during the First World War of 1914–1918.[1] The term "Stavka" means tent, referring to the military camp of a chief.[2][page needed]
The Stavka was originally established at Baranavichy. In the summer of 1915, after the German advance and the Russian retreat, the Stavka re-located to Mogilev.[2]
Foreign military officers[]
Major-general John Hanbury-Williams was head of the British military mission in Russia and was attached to the Stavka.[2]
