→History: typo
It is arranged into a rigid, militaristic hierarchy. [[Angel Garrison|Angel Garrisons]] are divisions in Heaven, inhabited by certain angels. [[Anna]], [[Castiel]] and [[Uriel]] were originally part of an angel garrison led initially by Anna. Questioning or refusing to follow orders can lead to severe punishments, which may involve diminishing an angel's stature inside the Host. In extreme cases, an angel may be hunted and killed for their trespasses, including lack of faith and choosing to fall. Both Anna and Castiel are tortured for their disobedience. Now, this arrangement has been breaking down since [[God]]'s departure from Heaven and around the rebellion of [[Lucifer]]. When God left Heaven, [[Michael]] adopted full responsibility in leading the Host, maintaining order and stability within it.
Angels within the Host were not created all at once; the archangels appear to have been made first. They're are the only four angels to have seen God. According to Castiel, the angelic army of the Host is not unlimited. The angels of Heaven are not indestructible. And the entire Heavenly establishment could be obliterated by one word from a [[Cambion]].
{{Quotation
==='''Leaders in The Host'''===
In Seasons 4 and 5, the leaders in the Host might loosely be defined as those who were aware of the plan to allow [[The 66 Seals]] to brakebreak, which would release Lucifer, and sought to hasten his battle with Michael in order to bring forth paradise. These angels issue commands, promote and demote subordinates, and may be involved in the selection of [[prophet|prophets]]. In Season six, leadership and management in the Host is in some doubt as the angels are in a state of civil war. The combatants consist of Raphael and his followers, who wish to restart the [[Apocalypse]], and Castiel and the other angels that oppose this plan.
*[[Michael]], after God left Heaven, became the primary authority in Heaven, managing and maintaining the Host by issuing commands to angel Garrisons. Soon after his imprisonment in the Cage alongside Lucifer, Heaven's management is falling into major disorder, splitting up the divisions in the Host. Raphael is currently trying to become the paramount leader in Heaven.
