The Regimental HQ contains a telecommunications center, a coordination center for fire support, air observer, costal defense forces and the actual staff of the regiment. The Special Operations Company is tasked with clearing landing zones, removal of barriers, mines, etc. The Special Operations Company trains with the special forces units of the Cildanian Navy and typically the special forces units draw specifically from this company in recruitment. The Naval Operations Company consists of about 180 soldiers and are responsible for boarding teams and boarding actions, they are typically broken down into teams of 8 to 10 soldiers to conduct their duties.
The Assault/Marine battalions are where the bulk of the "marines" are located. Each battalion consists of a staff and supply company, three naval infantry companies and a heavy company. The three combat companies consist of 3 platoons of 37 soldiers and a 21-man fire support section. These units are equipped with amphibious assault vehicles, boats and/or helicopters. They can operate as mechanized infantry should it be required. The heavy company forms the supportive combat elements with air defense, anti-armor and mortar support.
Overall logistical support falls to the Logistics Support Battalion which covers a wide array of duties and includes a medical unit, transport and logistics companies.
