  • One paratrooper brigade (4th)
  • Two mountain infantry brigades (6th and 8th)

Two additional brigades have been disestablished in recent years: the 7th Jungle Infantry Brigade in the late 1980s and the 3rd (Training) Motorized Brigade in 2002.


In addition to the brigades, there is also a number of specialized formations, amongst them a large 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) and a special Rapid Deployment Force comprised of special forces units and elements from the 4th Paratroopers Brigade.


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).
