History & Background (Dossier)

Serving the Worlds of The Leader, Paratha (world) D342788-6 is a scorched, dry world with light gravity and a thin tainted atmosphere. However, specially modified TL–6 helicopters can operate here, with care. Some of these battalions are being used to with the occupational forces, to garrison the "colony" of Zendar (world).

Tables of Organization (Organizational Structure)

The three Combat Brigades are adapted for desert combat. They share 21 battalions. The TOE below is a typical mechanized infantry battalion. Vehicles have intake compressors and filters to deal with the thin tainted air. Troops here wear loose, camouflage desert cloaks over their uniforms and their helmets have polarized sand goggles and filter masks integrated.

Mechanized Infantry Battalion

HHC includes:

A command post platoon with 1x M182 class Parathan Desert Command Track with three crew, the unit CO, SNCO, and a driver
A battalion aid station track, which is the S5 class Sopolian Tracked Battalion Aid Station
A quarter master/mess track, which is the M181L class Parathan Desert Mobile Field Kitchen
A battalion workshop track, which is the S4 class Sopolian Tracked Workshop

A mortar platoon of 4x M90 class Parathan Self Propelled Mortar Carriers, each with a driver, commander, gunner, and seven loaders, and a S1 class Sopolian Tracked Cargo Carrier.

A sniper platoon with 8x two man sniper teams, rifleman and spotter and a M181 class Parathan Tracked APC, and a Wootan class Sopolian Scout Car.

A aero-scout platoon with 4x M5 class Parathan Light Helicopters each with a single pilot and a M181 class Parathan Tracked APC, filled with mechanics and tool kits.

(4) Combat Companies

Each includes: 100 troopers each, 6 APCs and

A 10 man command post platoon with 1x M182 class Parathan Desert Command Track with three crew, the unit CO, SNCO, and a driver

A medical detachment with an CAS-EVAC ambulance M6 class Parathan Medium Helicopter with two medics and a pilot

A quarter master with a M181L class Parathan Desert Mobile Field Kitchen with two crew and two cooks

And (3) Combat Platoons, each with 30 troopers and two M181 class Parathan Tracked APCs.

Each platoon has a medic with a medical kit. Each dismounted squad is built around a LMG team and 10 disposable ATRLs. Officers have auto pistols, some also carry SMGs and carbines. NCOs and vehicle crew have SMGs. The rest carry rifles, medics don't carry weapons. Combat blades are ubiquitous. On occation the company XO will take command of the command track, and take charge of the support elements. This frees up the CO, who will then personally lead the company from one of the platoons, historically 1st platoon, but not always.
