The Training and Staff Duties Division,[1] later known as the Tactical and Staff Duties Division, was a directorate of the Admiralty Naval Staff of the Royal Navy responsible for the tactical use of naval weapons and the training of naval personnel in relation to operational requirements from 1917 to 1958.

History

The Training and Staff Duties Division was established as part of the reorganisation of the Admiralty in 1917 under the command of Rear-Admiral James C. Ley. The DTSD, or Director of Training and Staff Duties, was a naval officer (usually a captain) employed within the Admiralty and was mainly responsible for the administration of officers' education. He was expected to comment on all questions of officer education and suggest answers to problems, but was rarely required to sit on committees and did not have an active role in formatting syllabi.[2] In June 1945 the directorate was renamed Tactical and Staff Duties Division and existed until 1958.
