Generalkommandoen
Generalkommandoen (1922-1950) (English: the General command) is the first combined command of the armed forces of Denmark, though neither with unified administration and operational control of all forces.
Generalstaben was incorporated into Generalkommandoen in 1932.
Generalkommandoen was erected in Army law of 1922, adopted by Rigsdagen on August 7, 1922. It was terminated in 1950, following the Danish defense reform of 1950, which split it into Forsvarschefen, Forsvarsstaben, Hærkommandoen, Søværnskommandoen and Flyverkommandoen.
In 1970 the commands were combined again to form a unified command structure under the name of Defence Command
