Algerian War French order of battle
The units and formations of the French Army which fought in the Algerian War changed over time. The Algiers Division, Oran Division and Constantine Divisions were all retitled military divisions (or "divisions militaires") on 17 March 1956. On March 8, 1957 all three divisions were upgraded to Army Corps (CA) with twelve sub-areas. They were again redesignated as territorial regions/army corps ("regions territoriales et Corps d’Armees") in April 1959. After 1962 they were reduced solely to the functions of army corps once more, and then returned again to divisional status only. Shrader , "The First Helicopter War: Logistics and Mobility in Algeria 1954-62," Greenwood Publishing Group, Appendix A, "Major French Combat Forces in Algeria in 1960," pp237-238, lists as the divisions of the General Reserve the 10th and 25th Parachute Divisions at Algiers and Philippeville, and the 11th Infantry Division (France) at Bône. RT/CAO, the Oran Corps Area, with its headquarters at Oran, comprised the 5th Armoured Division (Mostaganem, North), 4th DIM (Tiaret, East Oran Zone), and 12th (Tlemcen, West Oran Zone), 13th (Mecheria, South Oran) and 29th Infantry Divisions (Sidi-bel-Abbes, Central Oran Zone) Infantry Divisions, plus the  102nd Light Aviation Group (102e GALAT) also at Sidi-bel-Abbes. RT/CAA, the Algiers Corps Area, comprised the 27th DIA (Tizi-Ouzou), and 9th and 20th Infantry Divisions (Orléansville and Médéa), East, West, and South Zones, with the 105th and 114th Army Light Aviation Groups. The Constantine Army Corps (RT/CAC) had five divisions: 2 DIM Bone, 7e Division Mechanique Rapide Tebessa, 14 & 19 DI respectively at Constantine and Setif, and the 21st Algerian Infantry Division at Batna. Also two GALATs. In 1962, the French Army forces in Algeria were being supervised by the "Commandement Supérieur des Forces Armées  en Algérie" with the Constantine, Algiers, and Oran Zones supervised by the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th Army Corps respectively. On 1 July 1964, the "Commandement supérieur des forces armées en Algérie" was officially disestablished. This Kim Kanger sourced listing below is as of 1961. Aviation. From the time before World War II French Algeria in regards to air force operations was in the Area of Responsibility of the 5th Air Force Region ("5e région aérienne" ("5e RA")). The region covered the territories of French Northern Africa ("Afrique française du Nord" ("AFN")), which included Algeria (incorporated into Metropolitan France) and the  colonies (protectorates) of Morocco and Tunisia. Correspondingly the 5th AFR had three air force commands assigned to it: "Air Algérie", "Air Maroc" and "Air Tunisie". With Morocco and Tunisia gaining independence in 1956 the 5th AFR's AOR decreased to the territory of Algiers. The 5th AFR's command echelon included a staff (état-major) and three regional directorates: Administration ("la direction régionale du commissariat", Medical ("la direction régionale du service de santé") and Materiel ("la direction régionale du matériel"). Each GATAC had its own Territorial Support Brigade ("brigade territoriale de soutien" ("BTS")) for logistical support. The three GATACs were  further divided into operational zones ("zones opérationnelles"), each commanded by an Air Force Command Post ("poste de commandement air" ("PCA")). In 1959 the aviation assets in Algeria underwent a reorganization and the French Air Force took operational control over the Navy and Army aviation units in the war theatre. This created the army aviation's Light Aviation Support Groupments ("groupements d’aviation légère d’appui"). Air Force Riflemen. The Air Force also deployed its own ground regiments of the Fusiliers de l'air, which used the traditional French half-brigades ("démi-brigades") unit type. They were formed between September of 1955 and June  of 1956, relying heavily on officers and NCOs posted from the Army. These units were subordinated to the three GATACs. The infantry units of the Air Force were transferred to the Army by the end of 1957. The command elements of the half-brigades ("Unités à administration distincte" ("UAD")) actually belonged to the 5th Air Force Region's territorial administrative center ("Centre administratif territorial de l'air" ("CATA") 860) in Blida and were attached to the infantry units. The elite Parachute Commandos were retained at the central level of the 5th Air Force Region. Each combat commando had an established strength  of 102 men (5 officers, 22 NCOs and 75 ranks), but in the course of the war it could occasionally increase up to 180 men. The building block of the units was the Team ("équipe") of 5 or 6 men. A Commando Group ("groupe de commando") combined two teams for a total of 10 - 12 men, transportable by a single H-34 or two H-19 helicopters. A Commando Platoon ("section de commando") combined two commando groups (total of four teams): two Command and Fire Teams (deux équipes de commandement et de feu) and two regular commando teams ("deux équipes simples de  commandos") Two experimental commandos of reduced strength were added later: Due to their active involvement in the Algiers putsch of 1961 at the end of April all "commandos" were disbanded effective immediately. Personnel from Commando 10, 20 and 40 was dispersed between five air bases in metropolitan France - Dijon, Le Bourget, Toulouse, Istres and Caen. To fill up the void on May 1 two new units were formed at the BA 146 Reghaïa air base from personnel from Commando 30 and 50 and the men from the experimental "commandos": These units discarded the commando nomenclature in order to break with  the previous units and the reason for their disbandment. The new companies also differed in their established structure with a strength of 5 officers, 33 NCOs and 100 ranks each.
