What does the title ‘Aide-de-Camp’ refer to?

The title ‘Aide-de-Camp’ refers to an officer in the armed forces who assists a higher-ranking officer. In India, the Aide-de-Camp is an honorary designation, and those serving or retired from this role use the post-nominal letters ADC. Service chiefs, including those of the Army, Navy, and Air Staff, typically have three aides-de-camp. The President has five, including three from the Army and one each from the Navy and the Air Force. One honorary aide-de-camp from the Territorial Army is also there.
