101 AREA (NORTH EAST)

101 AREA (NORTH EAST)

The Indian Army has several static formations in its orbat called ‘Areas’ which in turn consists of ‘Sub-Areas’. These static formations consist of geographical areas and are under the command of a Major General and Brigadier respectively. The static Areas, Sub Areas, or Independent Sub Areas span the length and breadth of the country. These look after infrastructural (and lines of communications) assets. The static formations have similar patches to those of combat formations. The formation badge and sleeve patch of this 101 Area (North East) has a white rhinoceros in a black oval on red background.
