The Finnish Army is organised into four military provinces: southern, western, eastern and northern. The military provinces are responsible for defence and planning in their areas. The four military provinces are further divided into 22 regional offices or regional military provinces which are responsible for conscription, organizing the local defence and aiding the voluntary defence organizations. The Army is commanded by Lieutenant General Pasi Välimäki, who succeeded Petri Hulkko on January 1, 2022.[1][2][3] Logistics is centrally planned by the Army Materiel Command, which has one logistics regiment in each military province.[4]
