Combat Division Types

Amoured Division

This type of division is the heaviest in the Army. It is intended to be used at the most difficult spots in both attack and defence. The weight of equipment fielded by this division however, means that its role is mainly defensive.

Mechanised Division

The Medium Cavalry Division has a similar organisation to the Armoured Division. The difference is at the Brigade level, in that where the Armoured Brigade has 3 Armoured Regiments, and 2 Infantry Battalions, the Mechanised Brigade has 3 Infantry Battalions, and 2 Armoured Battalions.

Airborne Division

Together with the Cuerpo de Marina de los Estados Confederados, the Ejercito del los EC's Airborne Divisions form a rapid reaction force. With recent expansions, the Army can afford to keep one Brigade from each division on 24-hour standby for operations anywhere in the world. To facilitate quick operation, Airborne Divisions are always based on or near Fuerza Aerea de los Estados Confederados Bases. The standby Brigade is located on an Fuerza Aerea de los Estados Confederados Base. Until 1999, the Airborne Division was the only type of division not to have the ability to deploy nuclear missiles, from 1999 onwards, Airborne Divisions received A-TACM's which can be fired from HIMARS.

Air-Mobile Division

The Air-Mobile Division is designed to have tactical mobility by helicopter. The division is basically the same as a light infantry division at the lower levels, differences include far more helicopters allocated to the Brigade, few armoured vehicles.

Infantry Division

The Infantry Division is the second-most deployable division type in the Army. It is similar to an airborne division, except that it possesses aircraft, and more vehicles. This division has a high degree of capability of counter-insurgency capability.

Army Equipment

The EEC acquires its equipment from a variety of sources, much is also produced domestically. An interesting fact is that Latin American troops forward deployed to Europe use some British-made Latin American weapons, for example while home troops use the FN FAL produced by Fabricaciones Militares in Rosario, Argentina, troops based in Europe use British L1A1 SLRs made by the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, England
