Headquartered in [[Lima]], it has a strength of 90,000 troops divided in four military regions with headquarters in [[Piura]], Lima, [[Arequipa]] and [[Iquitos]]. Every military region is assigned several [[brigade]]s of which there are different types, including [[infantry]], [[cavalry]] and [[Armoured warfare|armored]]. There are also several groups and battalions which operate independently of the army's organization.

The equipment of the Peruvian Army includes infantry weapons that include rifles and carbines such as the [[M16 rifle|M16A2]] and the [[M4A1]] and pistols like the [[FN Five-seveN]] and [[Smith & Wesson M&P|Smith & Wesson M&P9]].

Vehicles include several types of [[tank]]s ([[T-55]] and [[AMX-13]]), [[armoured personnel carrier]]s ([[M113 armored personnel carrier|M-113]], [[UR-416]]), [[artillery]] ([[2A18|D30]], [[M101 howitzer|M101]], [[M109 howitzer|M109]] and [[M114 howitzer|M114]] [[howitzer]]s), antiaircraft systems ([[ZSU-23-4 Shilka]]) and helicopters ([[Mil Mi-2]], [[Mil Mi-17]]). Recently, Peru has sought to update their collection of tanks and armored personnel carriers that have not been updated since acquiring vehicles from the Soviet Union. After an initial deal with China fell through, Peru has attempted to make a deal with [[General Dynamics]] to purchase new military vehicles.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Rich|title=General Dynamics Strikes a Deal in Peru -- The Motley Fool|url=http://www.fool.com/investing/2016/12/17/general-dynamics-strikes-a-deal-in-peru.aspx|website=[[The Motley Fool]]|access-date=21 December 2016|date=21 December 2016}}</ref>
