Geographic Area Structure of A.P.S.L
The Australian Peoples Survival League are spread out with members across Australia, split up into different areas of operation, tying in with current Australian Government States, Territories, and Municipalities defined by their respective level of government. This is an explanation of our geographic area structure and it's leadership:
Family Unit or Individuals
(Led by Corporals/Leaders)
This is a starting point for new leadership in the league. A new leading member can either be an individual or part of a family unit. Individuals are able to join in with family units or with other individuals. The family unit is led by leader(s). The leader is appointed by voting or agreement since the position is non centralised. Family units can have multiple leaders, and individuals can be promoted to leader if they are proactive in their area or has been seen to contribute to our organisation in the completion of training units and mutual assistance groups.
Local group
(Led by a Corporal)
A local group is generally a small group consisting of 3 to 6. This consists of multiple family units or groups of individuals, led by a Corporal. Corporals can be recommended by Sergeants in their community and are able to lead extended family units or a small group of individuals in the local group.
Community
(Led by a Sergeant)
A community is made up of multiple local groups and is led by Sergeants. These groups vary in size between 8-20.
District Command
(Commanded by an Officer and Led by a Warrant Officer)
A district is an area with multiple communities. The district's operations are run by Warrant Officers and commanded by an Officer. Districts vary in size between 30 and 50.
Municipality or L.G.A Command
(Commanded by Majors, Captains and Lieutenants)
A municipality is the geographic area as defined by state governments in allocating local government areas, also known as L.G.A.'s . Municipality operations are executive run by Lieutenants and commanded by Captains and Majors. Majors are only appointed if the number of members in that municipality are large enough or geographically large enough to warrant the oversight, based on numbers or size. This size can vary between 80-300.
State / Territory Command
(Commanded by Colonel's and Lieutenant Colonel's)
A state is an area defined by the Government as a State or Territory area. This is executive run by Lieutenant Colonel's and commanded by a Colonel. Lieutenant Colonel's are solely responsible for a Territory in size, where States have both.
National Command
(Commanded by the Secretary General and his Lieutenant Generals)
The national Headquarters, is the overarching leadership throughout Australia. It's operations are executive run by Lieutenant Generals and commanded by the Secretary General. The national command sets the mandate from national operations, filtering down to all other areas.
