The Revolutionary Armed Forces Of Colombia 's chain of command is divided as follows: 1) The ''Central High Command (Estado Mayor Central)'', also known as the '''''secretariat''''', is the superior organism of direction and command of the FARC-EP. Its agreements, orders and decisions rule over the entire movements and all its members. It designates the High Command of each bloc and co-ordinates the areas of the respective blocs. 2) ''Bloc'': consists of five or more fronts. 7 blocs have divided the country's territory strategically to allow greater maneuverability and control. 3) ''Front'': Consist of anywhere between 50 and 500 men. Control and attack certain areas of the country. 4) ''Column'': Larger fronts are divided into columns. 5) ''Company (Compañía)'' : These men, usually around 50, stay together and plan ambushes or other surprise attacks. 6) ''Guerilla'': consists of two squads. 7) ''Squad'': the basic unit consisting of 12 combatants. CENTRAL HIGH COMMAND The Central High Command is composed of seven ideological and military leaders of the FARC-EP. It is speculated that some of them would be hiding in the Colombian frontiers with Ecuador and Venezuela, which has been one of the reasons for Colombian military operations in the area. Others are thought be somewhere in the southeastern-most regions of the country. In a March 2006 United States Department Of Justice indictment, $5 million US dollars were offered for information leading to the capture of 47 key FARC figures that remain at large, including the members of the Secretariat.
