Ranks

At The People's Relief Corps, our rank structure reflects our commitment to order, professionalism, and effective leadership while maintaining our civilian humanitarian mission.

Each rank carries specific responsibilities and expectations, from supporting field operations as enlisted members to planning and executing missions at the officer level.
Promotions are based on merit, training completion, leadership ability, and demonstrated commitment to the Corps' mission and values.

Our rank structure is not about titles — it is about responsibility, accountability, and service. Every member, regardless of rank, is vital to fulfilling our mission: to stand ready, serve with honor, and bring relief to those in need.

Divisions Structures

At The People's Relief Corps, our organizational structure is carefully designed to prioritize effectiveness, discipline, and mission-specific readiness.
Rather than relying on traditional geographic divisions, the Corps is organized around key infrastructure functions critical to sustaining humanitarian and disaster relief operations in any environment. This function-based structure allows us to deploy specialized, highly trained teams wherever and whenever they are needed most, with precision and efficiency.

The Corps is composed of six major Divisions, each responsible for a vital area of support:

• The Medical Division delivers emergency first aid, triage, casualty evacuation, and field stabilization services.
  
  

• The Communications Division establishes and maintains secure field communication systems, supporting coordination across all operational areas.
  
  

• The Logistics Division oversees transportation, supply management, and the establishment of staging areas and distribution points.
  
  

• The Engineering and Rescue Division specializes in search and rescue operations, debris clearance, structural stabilization, and shelter construction.
  
  

• The Relief Distribution Division organizes the provision of critical supplies such as food, water, clothing, and temporary shelter to affected populations.
  
  

• The Operations Support Division provides strategic mission planning, operational coordination, documentation, and command support to ensure every deployment is organized and accountable.
  
  

Each Division is further broken down into Regiments, which specialize in narrower mission sets within their field.
Battalions organize operational groups ready for field deployment on a larger scale, while Companies serve as core task forces within battalions, ready for rapid action. Platoons serve as tactical-level operational units conducting specific assignments during missions, and Squads — typically composed of 4 to 10 members — form the basic building blocks of our field response, allowing for flexibility, quick action, and adaptability under changing conditions.

The Corps’ rank structure provides clarity in command and operational leadership, with Colonels commanding Divisions, Lieutenant Colonels commanding Regiments, Majors leading Battalions, Captains and Lieutenants leading Companies and Platoons, and Sergeants leading Squads.
Each member, from Private to Colonel, plays an essential role, understanding their responsibilities and acting with discipline, professionalism, and compassion.

This infrastructure-centered organization allows The People’s Relief Corps to maintain rapid deployment capability, specialized expertise, and inter-divisional coordination. Whether responding to medical emergencies, communications breakdowns, mass evacuations, or large-scale disaster recovery, the Corps is structured to deliver targeted aid quickly, efficiently, and honorably.

We stand ready — organized, trained, and committed — to fulfill our mission:
First to Aid, Last to Leave.
