'''Headquarters, Army''' ('''HQA''') is the command arm of the Meridonian Army and manages its oversight, organization, and operations. It is responsible for maintaining the operational capabilities for use by [[Joint Forces Command]], and acts as an umbrella organization under which a number of other Army agencies operate. The seniormost Army officer is the Chief of Army Staff, a 4-star officer, who does not exercise operational authority but maintains administrative oversight over all Army activities and reports directly to the Army Secretary and Defense Secretary, who are both civilians. The Chief of Army Staff is a member of the Chiefs of Defense Staff, a board consisting of the seniormost officers from all branches of the [[Meridon Defense Forces].

Meridon operates three active-duty corps-level formations which also primarily serve as administrative control units but are capable of being utilized as command formations in certain circumstances. Corps consist of two divisions, and each division generally contains 3 infantry regiments, which may be light infantry, mechanized infantry, armored, airborne or airmobile. The exception to this is that airborne and airmobile divisions only have two regiments of infantry. Each division will generally have a dedicated divisional artillery regiment, an aviation regiment, and a combat logistics regiment attached to it.
