List Of Argentine Army Regiments
The Structure of the Argentine Army is made up of administrative branches and the field organisation of three divisions and the parachute brigade which is part of the Rapid Deployment Force.
The current active force of the Argentine Army includes a total of ten brigades (brigadas). There are:
- 2x Armored brigades (1st, 2nd)
- 1x parachute brigade, the 4th Parachute Brigade (Argentina)
- 3x Mountain infantry brigades (5th, 6th, 8th) (Note: 5th Brig. is equipped like a Mechanized Brigade)
- 3x Mechanized brigades (9th, 10th, 11th)
- the 12th Jungle Brigade (Argentina)
In addition to the brigades, there is also a number of specialized formations, amongst them:
- the 601st Anti-aircraft Artillery Group.
- An Argentine Army Aviation group, which administers and operates almost all of the Army's aircraft except for those detached to the brigade level.
- The Buenos Aires Military Garrison, which serves for ceremonial purposes.
- the Special Operations Forces Group
The "regiment" and "group" designators actually denote battalion-sized units ("regiment" being used for infantry and cavalry units and "group" used for artillery units).

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or army:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I have been up to see the Congress and they do not seem to be able to do anything except to eat peanuts and chew tobacco, while my army is starving.”
—Robert E. Lee (1807–1870)
