OK. This great little pamphlet describes in detail the functions of the various staff officers, but does not indicate their ranks.
I am specifically interested in which general officers (with corresponding ranks) were in the staffs of higher headquarters.

Re: 1940 French Headquarters Staffs
Thank you Loïc.
That is what I was looking for. I am going to assume that the highest rank shown for the various positions is the one authorized by the tables of organization

It is not direct to this Topic, but I see Prost Toulland Detachment was assigned to protect GQG, is it this troop was only guard for GQG ? Thank

Actually both Provisional Motorized Cavalry 11e [13e 14e Sqn] and 12e [15e 16e Sqn] Groupements joined and shared the fate of the 19e GRCA Recce unit of XXIIIrd Army Corps
