Armies are boxes inside boxes, and every article assumes you know the shape. This is the shape: every theatre command, combatant command, service, fleet, group army and missile base — what each is responsible for and specialises in, who it reports to, and how the structure was redrawn in 2016, 2024 and 2025. Find out how big a brigade really is, and watch the reforms happen on a year slider.

Nuclear reactors, power stations, major dams, air and naval bases, missile launch facilities, radars, spaceports, refineries and maritime chokepoints — nearly 10,000 sites on a zoomable globe, each one sourced, dated and marked with how precisely we actually know where it is. Plus live military ADS-B, and a plain statement of what a map built on public feeds cannot see.
