Aide-de-camp
An aide-de-camp (French for camp assistant) is a personal assistant, secretary, or adjutant to a person of high rank, usually a senior military officer or a head of state. The first aide-de-camp is typically the foremost personal aide.

Geraud Duroc was made an aide-de-camp to Napoleon in 1796, and first aide-de-camp in 1798.

In some countries, aide-de-camp is considered to be a title of honour (which confers the post-nominal letters ADC), and participates at ceremonial functions.
