SASR structure Pt 1
Special Air Service Command (Commanded by a Brigadier General)
The highest level of the SAS, contains all the highest admin, ceremonial and cultural functions. Similar to the US Special Forces Command.
Pre 9/11, the UK SAS had a similar role but its since morphed. The Diector SAS was expanded into Director Special Forces and the billet was bumped up to Major General.
Under that is the SAS Regiment proper;
SAS Regimental HQ - commanded by a Colonel. Similar in organization to a Ranger Regiment HQ
Prior to 9/11, the SASR was a battalion size unit but has been steadily expanding to a true regiment size under the 2030 Restructuring of Australian forces.
Quick Note; Squadrons and troops are different between the US and the Commonwealth. US Squadrons are typically Battalion sized units and Troops are company sized.
Conversely, Commonwealth squadrons are company sized and troops are platoon sized formations.
When Beckwith created Delta, he used the SAS model right down to squadron and troop size. The other Special Mission units followed this philosophy as far as I can tell. Delta has since expanded to a Group size (like a Special Forces Group) formation.
Note the JSOC diagram
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_...ns_Command.png
Delta has the three straight lines on top of the box, indicating its size as a Group / Regiment whereas the other SMU's have two indicating that they're battalion sized units
