List of Argentine Army Regiments
The following is a list of Argentine Army regiments and other elements, organized by corps and brigades to which they are attached.
Background
The current active force of the Argentine Army includes a total of ten brigades (brigadas). This force breaks down into:
* 2x Armored brigades
* 1x Paratrooper brigade (4th)
* 3x Mountain infantry brigades
* 3x Mechanized brigades
* 1x Jungle infantry brigades (12th)
In addition to the brigades, there is also a number of specialized formations, amongst them:
* A anti-aircraft artillery group.
* An 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.
* A special operations group
It should be noted that the "regiment" and "group" designators actually denote battalion-sized units ("regiment" being used for infantry and cavalry units and "group" used for artillery units).
1990s reorganization
Since the restoration of Democracy in 1983, the Argentine Army were reduced both in number and budget but became more professional, especially after conscription was abolished. Some units were dissolved and other moved, e.g.,
I Corps (Buenos Aires) dissolved
10th Infantry Brigade (Buenos Aires) moved to La Pampa
In accordance to the friendship policy toward Brazil
* 7th Jungle Infantry Brigade, dissolved
* 3rd Motorized Brigade, dissolved
