Installation |
---|
Most formations of battalion level or higher integrate auxilary forces
beyond the basic structure. In a standard SLDF mech regiment, for
example, each battalion has an additional command lance not counted as part
of any specific company, and a regimental command lance not counted as part
of any battalion, so the regiment has 124 mechs rather than the 108 in a
nominal regiment. They also include an air lance attached to each company,
giving it a wing of 18 aerospace fighters as well. They also include
technicians, recovery vehicles, transports, medical and administrative
personnel, and other support elements, generally outnumbering the actual
combat elements.
Infantry formations can be wildly variable in size. Jump infantry
platoons typically have three squads while foot and motorized platoons have
four squads. Most infantry squads have seven troopers, but SRM squads have only six. This means
that "standard" infantry platoon size might be 18, 21, 24, or 28 troopers,
and so a standard 27-platoon infantry regiment might be anywhere from 486 to
756 troops, not counting any attached command or support elements.
