Special missions battalion

A special missions battalion was a formation of the Imperial Army, as well as the largest formation for the Army's Special Missions troopers.

Organization
It was composed of four Special Mission companies for the technical total of 544 combat troops out of 746 personnel and 88 speeder bikes. Unique to the special missions battalion compared to other battalions was that the 202 HQ personnel were expected to be directly involved in combat, as all of them were hardened veterans. In addition, the support staff were actually Special Missions engineers who conducted double-duty during down times with the security platoon, which was composed of the finest combat troops in the Imperial Army. The result was improved morale among the troopers who knew their Major was willing to risk his life along with theirs with the promise of promotion within the battalion's HQ as positions opened up frequently.

The battalion can also be augmented further with the addition of four special missions companies.
