C.A.A. Units
  The C.A.A. is broken down into units.  There are 7 main units of the C.A.A. each with it's own purpose, and many with specialized sub-units.  Each unit is comprised of units designated within the Christian Service Army system.  Because we beleive in transperancy and honesty all units within the C.A.a. are listed here.  But because of current logistics, personnel numbers, etc. many units may not be active at this time.  Units are designated as being either "Active" or "Dormant".  A unit may be classified as Dormant if it lacks an assigned leader, lacks sufficient personnel, or if the C.A.A. logistically cannot operate that unit effectively at this time.  Dormant units are still open if personnel want to join them.  If an officer wants to lead a Dormant unit then they can petition the Council to redesignate it Active.
