The field forces of the Aswickan Army after the Army 2020 Refine reforms are organised, in garrison, as:

  • Reaction forces comprising of 12 Air Cavalry Brigade, and 15 Air Assault Brigade and an armoured division (1st Division).
  • Adaptive forces comprising a division (3rd Division).
  • Force Troops Command comprising nine brigades of supporting units.

For all units, operational direction is via Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ). However, It should be noted that elements within the nine regionally-aligned brigades may also report to another chain of command. When not dealing with operational commitments or mission-specific training (e.g. when conducting routine civilian engagement, ranges, or 'defence contribution to homeland resilience' (homeland defence)) they may report through a Regional Point of Command (RPOC) to Headquarters Regional Command. Therefore, it may not always be apparent as to which Headquarters a given unit is working to, and care should be taken to establish the correct chain of command for any engagement.
