Office of the Joint (General) Staff
Fuad gives the accurate equivalent Saudi term for the "main office" (adninistrative entity) of the senior military staff organization in the Ministry of Defense and Aviation (MODA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
FYI, the equivalent term in "American Military English" is "Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff" (OJCS) or more colloquially (inside the Pentagon), "The Joint Staff" or "JS" in "military staff-speak."
