* An '''Army Group''' was a group of Armies sharing a common strategic objective. Composition of Army Groups varied significantly during the [[Amaris Civil War]], due to the changing strategic objectives of that conflict.

** '''Army Groups during peace time''': For the majority of the Star League era, Army Groups consisted of all the Armies assigned to one of the ten military regions.  Those assigned to one of the member states were further divided into three districts and bore the name of the state's ruling family, e.g. Army Group [[House Marik|Marik]].<ref name=TSL133 /> Prior to the Periphery Uprising, the SLDF had formed ten Army Groups; one for each of the member and territorial states.

** '''Army Groups in response to the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]]''': When the greater part of the SLDF deployed into the Periphery in response to the [[New_Vandenberg_Uprising|Uprising]], the three existing Army Group headquarters within the three territorial states were already under so much pressure that they couldn't take over the command, control and administration of the fresh Armies joining them, and Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky ordered the formation of three new Army Group HQs to maintain command and control of the inbound armies. These three new Army Group HQs, the Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth, were responsible for the command and control of the invasions of the Taurian Concordat, Magistracy of Canopus and Outworlds Alliance, respectively. When the truth behind the Uprising came out with Stefan Amaris' coup in the Terran Hegemony, Kerensky ordered the formation of the Fourteenth Army Group HQ, which was given responsibility for the invasion of the Rim Worlds Republic, supported by the Tenth Army Group, which had previously been known as Army Group Amaris. While the invasion of the Rim Worlds Republic was underway, four more Army Groups - the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Army Groups - were formed as training and occupation forces.

** '''Army Groups in preparation for [[Operation CHIEFTAIN]]''': During Operation CHIEFTAIN, the invasion of the [[Amaris Empire]], the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Army Groups became operational Army Groups. Operation CHIEFTAIN also saw four new Army Groups formed, the Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Army Groups, as well as the standing up of the Second Army Group (Army Group Marik), Fourth Army Group (Army Group Kurita) and Fifth Army Group (Army Group Davion). When the SLDF pulled out of the Rim Worlds Republic, the Twenty-third Army Group was established as a new training organization, while the last SLDF Army Group to be created was the Twenty-fourth Army Group, established as the final element of Operation CHIEFTAIN.<ref name="H:LOTv1p37">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 37: "Military Regions and Army Groups"</ref>
