Force Element Groups (FEGs) are the operational capabilities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as organised into component groups.
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.
The component commanders are of two-star rank (Rear Admiral/Major General/Air Vice Marshal).
There are two parts to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN)'s structure.
The Navy's assets are administered by seven Force Element Groups (FEGs), which report to the Commander Australian Fleet (COMAUSFLT).
