When and how minor staff duties started in Indian army?

Minor staff duties in the Indian Army began to take shape during the British colonial period, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These duties were established to streamline operations and improve efficiency within military units. Initially focused on logistical support, administration, and communication, they evolved as the army modernized and expanded, particularly during World War I and World War II. The emphasis on minor staff roles has continued post-independence, adapting to contemporary military needs and organizational structures.
