Part one is devoted to administrative and logistical commands. Each chapter deals with the administrative and logistical commands within one geographical area.

Each command has a short introduction, followed by a record of events of the headquarters, a list of commanders, a list of the next higher commands to which the command in question was assigned or attached, a brief treatment of the subordinate commands, and a list of the types of documents used in the compilation of the record of events. Part two is devoted to armies, corps, and divisions. Commands of equal rank are arranged numerically within each chapter.
