Editing Home Army (section)

===Regions===
The Home Army was divided geographically into regional branches or areas (''obszar''),<ref name="MNK" /> which were subdivided into subregions or subareas (''podokręg'') or independent areas (''okręgi samodzielne''). There were 89 inspectorates (''inspektorat'') and 280 (as of early 1944) districts (''obwód'') as smaller organisational units.<ref name="Enc. WIEM: AK" /> Overall, the Home Army regional structure largely resembled Poland's interwar administration division, with an ''okręg'' being similar to a [[voivodeships of Poland|voivodeship]] (see [[Administrative division of Second Polish Republic]]).<ref name="Enc. WIEM: AK"/>

There were three to five areas: [[Warsaw]] (''Obszar Warszawski'', with some sources differentiating between left- and right-bank areas – ''Obszar Warszawski prawo- i lewobrzeżny''), Western (''Obszar Zachodni'', in the [[Pomerania]] and [[Poznań]] regions), and Southeastern (''Obszar Południowo-Wschodni'', in the [[Lwów]] area); sources vary on whether there was a Northeastern Area (centered in [[Białystok]] – ''Obszar Białystocki'') or whether Białystok was classified as an independent area (''Okręg samodzielny Białystok'').<ref name="Wiąk2003">{{cite book|author=Wiesław Józef Wiąk|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mtYhAQAAIAAJ|title=Struktura organizacyjna Armii Krajowej 1939-1944|publisher=UPJW|year=2003|isbn=978-83-916862-7-0|pages=5; 82|language=pl}}</ref>
