Definition
参谋部 is a military term referring to the general staff headquarters — the command and planning body within an army. The word combines 参谋 (staff officer / to give advice) with 部 (department / ministry). In modern Chinese, it's used almost exclusively in military contexts, such as 总参谋部 (the General Staff Headquarters of the People's Liberation Army). You won't encounter this word in everyday conversation; it belongs to formal, institutional, or historical military writing.
