The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are organised into functional groups such as administration, logistics, operations, intelligence, training, etc. They provide multi-directional flow of information between a commanding officer, subordinate military units and other stakeholders.
- A centralised general staff results in tighter top-down control but requires larger staff at headquarters and reduces accuracy of orientation of field operations, whereas a decentralised general staff results in enhanced situational focus, personal initiative, speed of localised action, OODA loop, and improved accuracy of orientation.
- A commander "commands" through their personal authority, decision-making and leadership, and uses general staff to exercise the "control" on their behalf in a large unit.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Staff article was read about 97,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
