Higher Command

The Army command structure is hierachical with Commander Field Army and Commander Regional Forces controlling groupings of units based around Divisions and their Brigades.

Within these Brigades are Major Units, regiment or battalion-sized and Minor Units, smaller company sized sub-units or platoons.

All units within the service are either Regular (full-time) or Territorial Army (part-time), or a combination with sub-units of each type.
