The Division's Role

The Division has two core functions. Its primary role is the provision of military capability to Land Forces. That is, the provision of properly manned, trained, equipped and motivated forces for military operations anywhere in the world.

Operations and support to operations are the GOC's main effort and this role takes precedence over all else. The Division's second core function is the provision of regional and administrative support to all Army units based within the Divisional area, thus enabling them to undertake their own missions and tasks. It can be seen therefore, that the Division's second core activity directly contributes to its primary function.
