You may have noticed I said that staff ennui was pretty universal -- except for some Germans.

I think that may be due to the fact that the German GS system gives far fewer and lower ranked than US or British norms Staff Officers some or even a lot of actual authority whereas the US and Commonwealth (well, except for the Australians who as always are a bit different...) most of the larger number and higher ranked Staff Officers are precluded from any meaningful exercise of authority, many simple decisions have to be bounced to the commander and distressingly often, up the chain of command.

My limited contact with the French indicates they fall somewhere between the German and Anglosphere traditions. Most Asian armies seem to mirror US / British practice to at least an extent.

Don't know how many nations have LnOs at the Intel School but you may want to talk to those that are there and get their impressions.
