military attaché is a military expert who is attached to a diplomatic mission, often an embassy. This post is
normally filled by a high-ranking military officer who retains his commission while serving in an embassy.
Opportunities sometimes arise for service in the field with military forces of another sovereign state.

History
An early example, General Edward Stopford Claremont, served as the first British military attaché (at first
described as "military commissioner") based in Paris for 25 years from 1856 to 1881. Though based in the
embassy, he was attached to the French army command during the Crimean War of 1853-1856 and later
campaigns.
The functions of a military attaché are illustrated by actions of U.S. military attachés in Japan around the
time of the Russo-Japanese war of 1904–1905. A series of military officers had been assigned to the
American diplomatic mission in Tokyo since 1901, when the U.S. and Japan were co-operating closely in
response to the Boxer Rebellion of 1899-1901 in China. The military attaché advised the United States
Ambassador to Japan on military matters, acted as a liaison between United States Army and the Imperial
General Headquarters, and gathered and disseminated intelligence. The military attaché's office in Tokyo
usually had two assistants and a number of "language officers" who were assigned specifically to learn
Japanese while attached to Imperial Japanese Armyregiments as observers. These "language officers"
translated training and technical manuals and reported on conditions in Japanese military units.
During the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), military attachés from many Western military
organizations served as observers with the land and naval forces of Russia and of Japan. The United States
Army detailed eight officers to serve as military attachés with opposing forces in the field; and all served
from the start of hostilities in 1904 through the signing
