. He is in charge of administration, personnel and organisational matters. The Adjutant-General usually holds the rank of General
or Lieutenant-General. Despite his administrative role, the Adjutant-General, like most officers above the rank of Major-General, is invariably drawn from one of the combat arms, not from the support corps
.
In the late 19th and all of the 20th century the Adjutant-General was the Second Military Member of the Army Board
.
Headquarters Adjutant-General was based at the former RAF Upavon
, now Trenchard Lines, Upavon

to form HQ Land Forces under 'Project Hyperion'.
In December 2009 it was announced that the responsibilities of the Commander Regional Forces
(i.e. responsibility for support) would be subsumed within those of the Adjutant-General to the Forces who henceforth would take responsibility for both personnel and support.
