Dear colleague,
For the word أركان حرب, it does not have an equivalent in UK or US military career, although some officers might be taking a degrees in the Staff College. Therefore, to add the word 'staff' will sound bizarre. Best regards

Susan McMillan
: It doesn't sound bizarre. And unless the text is about the UK or US military, it doesn't matter whether there's an equivalent in those militaries. What matters is finding the English term that's appropriate to the relevant military, not the US or UK one.

Ms. McMillan, thanks for your comment. I completely agree with you in your point. However, in such types of texts, I prefer to domesticate rather than foreignize my translation. In other word, I prefer to bring the text closer to the reader. Thanks.
