The General Command (Danish: Generalkommandoen) was the highest command body in the Royal Danish Army. It was erected in 1922 Defence Agreement, adopted by Rigsdagen on 7 August 1922 and was a result of collecting 1st and 2nd General Command.[1] It was terminated in 1950, following the Danish defense reform of 1950, which split it into Eastern and Western Regional Command.
