Angels run under a unit called hierarchical units. Much of it appears to operate like a military organization, organized into Garrisons. [[Michael]] and [[Zachariah]] manage Heaven. Seven angels from Castiel's garrison were killed by the angel named Uriel. <sup>[[4.16 On The Head Of A Pin]]</sup>. All Angels have superiors. Superior Angels can summon their pupils back to Heaven. They can also promote and demote their pupils if necessary. Castiel's empathies toward [[Dean]] were questioned by his superiors. After much debate, his superiors temporarily gave the Angel Uriel superiority over Castiel. [[Archangel]]s are of the highest hierarchy on the celestial chain of command. [[Angels]] are higher than Cherubs but lower than Archangels. [[Cherub]]s are weaker than Angels and Archangels.

==History==
 +
[[Angels]] operate in garrisons, which are units or divisions in [[the Host of Heaven]]. Angels collectively contribute to the affairs and take part in activities assigned to their garrison. Every angelic group has its own leaders and supervisors that are separate from [[archangels]]. [[Zachariah]] was a direct superior of [[Castiel]], but the garrison to which he belonged was never established.
  
Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael have proved to possess much knowledge of God's character and personality  (Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel and Raphael seem to understand God very well). This proves that these are the four Angels who have seen God face to face. Most [[angel]]s possess limited knowledge about God; this is because only four angels have actually seen him.    
+
Whether or not the garrison units remain in place following the derailment of the [[Apocalypse]] is unknown. Castiel reveals that [[Heaven]] split into smaller factions following the loss of [[Michael]], and there has been significant disorder. Some angels serve as soldiers of [[Raphael]], others try to defend Heaven from them, and still others have left the fight altogether. When Castiel declares himself their new "[[Godstiel|God]]," he kills a vast number of angels who served Raphael, and commands the others to learn from this lesson.

After Castiel's dethronement and the angel fall, it was revealed that Heaven operates under the leadership of quorum of angels. And that remnants of the garrison system remain.
  
God's angel army is not unlimited according to Castiel.

According to Zachariah, he was greatly respected by all of his angel colleges. He implied the reason for his great reputation was due to his consistent successes when he finished his missions/duties. But then he was given the task of the Millennium. This task was having Dean Winchester consent to Michael. When he failed to do so, his reputation decreased dramatically.

Angel garrison led by Ishim in 1901. From left to right: Mirabel, Castiel, Ishim, Benjamin.

History

Angels operate in garrisons, which are units or divisions in the Host of Heaven. Angels collectively contribute to the affairs and take part in activities assigned to their garrison. Every angelic group has its own leaders and supervisors that are separate from archangels. Zachariah was a direct superior of Castiel, but the garrison to which he belonged was never established.

Whether or not the garrison units remain in place following the derailment of the Apocalypse is unknown. Castiel reveals that Heaven split into smaller factions following the loss of Michael, and there has been significant disorder. Some angels serve as soldiers of Raphael, others try to defend Heaven from them, and still others have left the fight altogether. When Castiel declares himself their new "God," he kills a vast number of angels who served Raphael, and commands the others to learn from this lesson.

After Castiel's dethronement and the angel fall, it was revealed that Heaven operates under the leadership of quorum of angels. And that remnants of the garrison system remain.
