SECTION I. General Information

The structure of the Grand Army of the Republic is split into various levels of command and various battalions that contribute at all levels to the general runnings of the organization. In the general, personnel are required to follow chain of command within their battalion so as to ensure smooth operation and to avoid disciplinary action.

The chain of command for any battalion, from bottom to top, may be generalized as:
Commander Sergeant Major (CSM)
Executive Officer (XO)
Battalion Commander (B-Cdr)
The full chain of command for the Grand Army of the Republic is displayed below in flowchart form:
