army group
Large tactical unit
An army group is the largest field formation in military organization, comprising two or more armies under a single commander.
Army groups typically operate across major theaters of war: Army Group Center advanced toward Moscow, the 12th Army Group landed at Normandy.
The term appears most in World War II contexts, where both Allied and Axis powers organized their forces this way.
