Geographic Area Structure of A.P.S.L
The Australian Peoples Survival League are spread with members across Australia, split up into different areas of operation, tying in with current Australian Government States, Territories, Municipalities and Ward areas 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 neighbourhood area or has been seen to contribute to our organisation in the completion of training units and assistance.
Neighbourhood
(Led by a Corporal)
A neighbourhood is generally as small as a street, court or road area etc. right up to a few nearby streets combined. 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 neighbourhood.
Community
(Led by a Sergeant)
A community is made up of multiple neighbourhoods and is led by Sergeants.
District Command
(Commanded by an Officer and Led by a Warrant Officer)
A district is an area known as a ward in local government areas. It covers the geographic area as mapped by the local government area. We refer to these wards more appropriately as districts. The district's operations are run by Warrant Officers and commanded by an Officer.
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..
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.
National Command
(Commanded by the Secretary General and his Lieutenant General)
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.
