  2-31. There is also the possibility that a division or division tactical group
  (DTG) could be directly subordinate to the SHC in the fighting force structure
  and thus perform tasks assigned directly by an SCP. In such cases, the OPFOR
  would consider the divisions or DTGs to be operational-level commands. More
  typically, however, they perform tactical missions as subordinates of an FG or
  OSC. (For more detail of divisions and DTGs and their tactics, see FM 7-100.2.)
  2-32. The SCP specifies the geographic AOR within which the operational-
  level command’s allocated forces are intended to operate. A single SCP could
  include more than one strategic goal. Thus, a particular FG or OSC could be
  task organized to achieve one or more goals within its assigned AOR.
  Field Group
  2-33. A field group is the largest operational-level organization, since it has one
  or more smaller operational-level commands subordinate to it. An FG is a group-
  ing of subordinate organizations with a common headquarters, a common AOR,
  and a common operation plan. FGs are always joint and interagency organiza-
  tions and are often multinational. However, this level of command may or may
  not be necessary in a particular SCP. An FG may be organized when the num-
  ber of forces and/or the number of major military efforts in a theater exceeds the
  theater commander’s desired or achievable span of control. This can facilitate
