Military headquarters take many [[forms]] depending on the size and [[nature]] of the [[unit]] or formation they command. Typically, they are split into the forward, main and rear components, both within [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO NATO] nations, and those following the [[organization]] and [[doctrine]] of the former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union Soviet Union].

The forward or tactical HQs (known as 'Tac' for short) is a small [[group]] of staff and [[communicators]]. Usually very mobile, they exist to allow the commander to go forward in an operation, and command the key parts of it from a position where they can see the ground and [[influence]] their [[immediate]] subordinates.

The main HQs (known as 'Main') is less mobile and is involved in both the [[planning]] and [[execution]] of operations. There are a [[number]] of staff assembled here from various staff branches to [[Counsel|advise]] the commander, and to [[control]] the various aspects of planning and the conduct of discrete operations. A main HQ for a large formation will have a chief of staff (CoS) who [[coordinates]] the staff [[effort]]; in a smaller HQ this may be done by the second-in-command (2iC).

The rear or logistic HQs ('Rear') is some distance from the battle or front line in [[convention]]al operations. Its [[function]] is to ensure the logistical [[support]] to front line troops, which it does by [[organizing]] the delivery of combat supplies, [[Material|materiel]] and equipment to where they are needed, and by organizing [[services]] such as combat [[medicine]], equipment recovery and repair.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headquarters]
