Operational capabilities of the Australian Defence Force
The
Force Element Group
s (FEGs) of the
Australian Defence Force
are the operational capabilities.
Capabilities are formed into Force Elements (FE), which in turn are aggregated into Force Element Groups (FEG). Each capability is assigned a level of operational readiness. The level of capability maintained by an FE or FEG should be consistent with its assigned readiness notice and depends on the availability of trained personnel, the availability of major platforms, combat systems and supplies, and the standard of collective training.

Each of the component commands has a set of FEGs. The FEG operational commanders report to the component commanders (
COMAUSFLT
/
CFC
/
ACAUST
), who in turn report to the operation's Task Force commander. The FEG commanders are either of
Captain (naval)
/
Colonel
/
Group Captain
rank, or
one-star rank
for larger FEGs (
Commodore
/
Brigadier
/
Air Commodore
). The component commanders are of
two-star rank
(
Rear Admiral
/
Major General
/
Air Vice Marshal
).
