Army

In land forces the Paraguayan Army is composed of a Presidential Escort Regiment, two battalions (infantry and military police), an armored battalion, and a battery of field artillery. Their equipment includes three Argentinean modified M-4 tanks, eight EE-9 armored cars, four EE-11 armored personnel cariers (APCs), three M-9 half-tracks mounting 20mm guns, and four M-101 105 mm howitzers. Arguably, this “flagship” of military rule is structurally and physically the strongest of the EP. The REP is an independent unit from other commands. The EP features two artillery groups ( GAC 1-12 88 mm QF-25 and GAC 2-12 105mm M-101) and one antiaircraft artillery group (GAA 16 40 mm M1A1, Oerlikon 20 mm cannons, and two to four M-55 4×12, 7.0 mm).

Six battalions of combat engineers, one communications battalion, one Special Forces battalion, seven regiments of infantry, six regiments of cavalry(R.C.-2 equiped with 12 M3A1, five operational, 20 M9 semioruga and R.C.-3: 24 EE-9 Cascavels, eitht EE-11 Urutu). This has little organic aviation available to it.

Each corps has a weapons school run by its command. The longistic command manages 10 adresses materials, mobilization, health care, etc. The command of the Army Institute of Education administers three schools, commissioned and noncommissoned officers, a military academy, and the CIMEFOR (a center for pre-military study that trains Reserve officers.

Each of the nine divisions that make up the three corps has one or two regiments of infantry or cavalry, its platoon of engineers, its communications section, military police units, etc.
