The following structure of the Frontier Corps applied in 1921[1]

Theses units were not “regiments” of the Indian Army, rather they were armed para-military units paid for by the civil purse and under the control of the local Political Agent. Officers were seconded from the Indian Army.

The Khyber Rifles was a similar type of unit which had been disbanded in 1919.
