The current structure of the New Ingrean Army see it divided into a number of separate units for organisation and administration. It includes the army's order of battle and the headquarters locations of major units. All units belong to a single commands - the Land Command. The command is in turn composed of a number of regiments and battalions, which are grouped into brigades for deployment as a taskforce. The battalions are the smallest tactical formation in the army, with most regiments serving only as administrative groupings.
