Caledonian Army Unit Organizations

This page includes references to the various types of units found in the Caledonian Army at various technology levels.

Brigade Types

The Caledonian Army's primary self-sustaining maneuver element is the Brigade. On larger systems (and in the Intervention Force, 3-7 Brigades will be formed into "Corps", with a Brigade-sized Corps headquarters "Group".

Grav/Mech Brigade (TL 11/12)

Although the technology advanced between Tech Levels 11 and 12, the organization of Caledonian Grav/Mech units stayed the same. The adoption of "Gravity Combat Vehicles" combining the "Tank" and "Infantry Carrier" roles led to the collapsing of both unit types into a single unit. Grav/Mech Brigades consist of:

• 3 x Grav/Mech Battalions - these are explained below.
• 1 x Fire Support Battalion - Explained below. The "batteries" of the Fire Support Battalion are generally attached to the Grav/Mech battalions on operations.
• 1 x Headquarters Battalion, consisting of...:
  • 1 x Recon Squadron - 13 x Gravity Reconaissance Vehicles
  • 1 x Engineer Company - 16 x gravitic Combat Engineering Vehicles ( 4x demolition, 4 x mine/trap detection/clearance, 8 x construction vehicles)
  • 1 x Damper Company - Mobile nuclear dampers
  • 1 x Headquarters Company - 6 x Headquarters Vehicles, 4 x Gravitic Recon Vehicles (security)
• 1 x Support Battalion, consisting of...:
  • 1 x Logistics Company - 2x water purification/storage vehicles, 16 x transport sleds.
  • 1 x Transport Company 5 x groups of 6 x armored supply transport grav sleds (for transporting supplies from Logistics to the maneuver battalions)
  • 1 x Maintenance Company - Mobile repair platoons for grav vehicles, ordnance and electronics.
  • 1 x Medical Company - Gravmobile Field Hospital.
  • 1 x Signals Company - Mobile data networking unit

Light Infantry Brigade (TL 9-12)

Again - while the technology advanced greatly between TL9 and TL12, the organization of the light ("Leg") infantry unit changed very little, except for the vehicle (if any) that transported them into battle; at TL9 it may have been trucks, helicopters or crude gravity sleds; at higher levels, it was more-advanced gravitic transports. The light infantry brigade consists of:

• 3 x Rifle Battalions - these are explained below.
• 1 x Headquarters Battalion, consisting of...:
  • 1 x Recon Company - 72 men, with light transport according to their tech level (TL9: light vehicles or helicopters; TL12, light grav sleds).
  • 1 x Damper Company - Mobile nuclear dampers
  • 1 x Headquarters Company - 6 x Headquarters Vehicles, 4 x Gravitic Recon Vehicles (security)
• 1 x Support Battalion, consisting of...:
  • 1 x Logistics Company - 1 x water purification vehicle (plus storage systems), 8 x transport sleds.
  • 1 x Transport Company 4 x groups of 6 x supply transport vehicles per tech level (for transporting supplies from Logistics to the maneuver battalions)
  • 1 x Maintenance Company - Mobile repair platoons for ordnance and electronics.
  • 1 x Medical Company - Gravmobile Field Hospital.
  • 1 x Signals Company - Mobile data networking unit

Plus transport units (@ tech level) attached from other echelons.
