2nd Chief of General Staff was basically the head of all General Staff departments (e.g. operations, intelligence, military history etc). In a sense, "Chief of Staff of Chief of General Staff." Above all these was the Chief of General Staff who reported to Minister of War & Deputy Supreme Commander Enver.
