The Chief of General Staff (Hungarian: Honvéd Vezérkar főnöke; between 2019 and 2022: Commander of the Hungarian Defense Forces (Hungarian: a Magyar Honvédség Parancsnoka)) is the highest-ranking military officer in the Hungarian Defence Forces and is responsible for maintaining control over the service branches.
He is responsible for development, organisation, and equipping, training and functioning of the first strategic echelon (stand-by forces) and the other strategic echelon (reserve).[1] The Defence Forces Command coordinates the tasks of the armed forces of the Republic of Hungary, develops recommendations for the planning, organisation and supervision of the Ministry's military duties, and for the development of combat capability.[2]
Since 2007, the Hungarian Defence Forces is under a unified command structure. The Ministry of Defence maintains the political and civilian control of the military.
On 1 January 2019, the General Staff and the Joint Forces Command were merged to create the Defence Forces Command.[3] On 1 January 2023 it was renamed to General Staff.
The current chief of general staff is Gábor Böröndi.[4]
