Force Element Groups (FEGs) are the operational capabilities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as organised into component groups. Each of the component commands has a set of FEGs. The FEG operational commanders report to the component commanders (COMAUSFLT/CFC/ACAUST), who in turn report to the operation's Task Force commander.

The component commanders are of two-star rank (Rear Admiral/Major General/Air Vice Marshal).
