Spanish Army (Ejercito de Tierra) - Order of Battle - 2008
One interesting development is the defacto disappearance of the divisional level in the organization of the Spanish Army. While there was still one division-type unit in the Spanish Army as of the year 2000, the philosophy, as in most of the NATO countries, was to employ mainly brigade-size forces, integrated in a multinational component. The disappearance of the traditional enemy and the increasing contribution of the Army to peacekeeping or peacemaking missions, helped make the role of the Cavalry increasingly ambiguous and vague. This led ultimately to the disappearance of the divisional level and made the brigade-size unit the usual basis in European armies. The tercio is a unit intermediate between a regiment and a brigade.
