Well, I don’t have much time today as I am supposed to be somewhere else. So we will get over with this quickly.Take the info sheet and listen.
The sheet hasthree columns. The first column gives you unit designations, the second strength numbers, and the third themanding officer. Nothingplicated.

Team, squad,and toon are the smallest unit types. You will encounter them frequently. Teamsand squadsare usuallyled by experienced chunin, or even genin, but in reality, thechain ofmandis more fluid than it should be the case. Higher-ranking officersleading teams or squadsis far from umon.

Now we getto thpany, the battalion, the regiment.All three are a rare sight since the end Third Great Ninja War as they aren''t needed any more.
Thepany and battalion are regarded as the smallest unitsthat can operateautonomously without additionalsupport.The regiment isprimarily an adhoc formation.Strength numbersvary depending on the situation.

The brigade and division exist purely for administrative purposes. While the brigade had seen some use during the war, the division has long since fallen out of favour. Too cumbersome, too immobile, too inflexible. The division only persists for traditional reasons. So far, no hidden vige has ever seeded in fielding a full division. Forces were spread thin across all fronts during the wars and didn''t allow such a concentration of force.

The basic structure is more or less the same. Differences are minor. Compared to the Army,we ANBU enjoy higher ranks and our unit sizes are smaller<strong><b></b></strong>as our manpower is limited.
Now the interesting part, how you get promoted? I will be gracious and give you some personal advice.Officially, you need leadership, skill, intelligence and whatever else, but that''s all bullshit. Forget it,just forget it.
You require neither leadership,nor skill to advance. What you need are either strength or connections.
If you are a powerful, the higher-ups won’t be able to ignore you in the long run. Be strong and you will get promoted along the way. But if you aim high, you need n connections. Without them, you are fucked hard.
Nepotism and clientelism are the bane of Konoha’sexistence. They gue themilitary and bureaucracy. Posts are not filled based on merit, but based on lineage.Commanding positions areonly given to candidatesbacked by influential ns. Most of them are mediocre at best, not to say outrightipetent.No matter how talented you might be, you needthe right blood running through your veins.
The Army is the traditional territory ofbat-rted ns like the Akimichi, the Sarutobi, the Senju, the Hyuga,and the Nara.They produce asteady supply of high-ranking officers.
The Intelligence Division is dominated by the Yamanaka and other minor ns.
Uchiha and Aburame controlled the ANBU in the past, but times have changed since the Uchiha massacre.
