Chief of the General Staff (CGS) (Bengali: জেনারেল স্টাফের প্রধান, romanized: Jēnārēla sṭāphēra pradhāna) of Bangladesh Army, is the second commander of the Bangladesh Army. The Chief of Army staff has been a three-star rank since 2007. The Bangladesh Army is also constitutionally obligated to assist the government, during times of domestic national emergency e.g. the army helps people during any natural calamity. This additional role is commonly referred to as "aid to civil administration" or, using the Latin form, "Protectio, Transparentia, Reintegratio", in others words, "Protect and Serve".
