Division "Extraordinaire" (SSDF Multipurpose Forces)

Division "Extraordinaire" was formed in June 1049 and as of June 1049 consisted of 12 650 Soldiers. The ideal rank for the commanding officer is Command General or higher. The current commander is Command General Erik Loward who has been in this position since the Division was formed. All numbers stated here are as of June 1049 and might not 100 % represent the current situation.

The name of the Division "Extraordinaire" was chosen since it appeared to be the most fitting name. Being one of the two only Divisions of the SSDF Multipurpose Forces the abilities of this Division are truly "Extraordinary" compared to many other formations which is were the name came from.

Even though the Division can be used for many purposes and take on many roles not all of its subordinate units are in fact meant to serve more than just one role. The 15th Infantry Brigade and the 123rd Support Regiment can only serve in their respective role. This also partially applies to the 37th Special Operations Regiment. The 18th Multipurpose Brigade and the 41st Multipurpose Brigade as well as the 102nd Multipurpose Regiment are able to serve most roles whenever needed given that they receive the right equipment in time. This logistical challenge is also the reason why the Division "Extraordinaire" has an entire Regiment namely the 183rd Logistics Regiment dedicated to organizing the Divisions logistics and to defend its supply lines.

## Current Structure

Division "Extraordinaire" consists of a division headquarters and a headquarters Company (150 Soldiers), one Infantry Brigade, two Multipurpose Brigades, one Multipurpose Regiment, one Special Operations Regiment, one Support Regiment and one Logistics Regiment. Each of this units include their own support assets for transportation and support with the exception of the Multipurpose units which have changing assets depending on their mission and role.

### 15th Infantry Brigade (2 400 Soldiers)

Ideal rank for commanding officer: Lieutenant General or higher

The 15th Infantry Brigade is meant for being thrown into battle in locations where the enemy is threatening to flank or to encircle the Multipurpose Brigades. Because of that the 15th Infantry Brigade is seen as the "fire brigade" or reserve of the Division. Well equipped and trained including regular and heavy infantry the 15th Infantry Brigade is a force to be reckoned with and can save the day on the battlefield whenever and where ever they´re needed.

The 15th Infantry Brigade is currently commanded by Lieutenant General Italo Krossler

### 18th Multipurpose Brigade (2 200 Soldiers)

The 18th Multipurpose Brigade is the first ever created multipurpose unit of the SSDF. Officers and Soldiers alike are trained to take on a large variety of roles and handle various pieces of equipment.

### 37th Special Operations Regiment (1 100 Soldiers)

Ideal rank for commanding officer: Lieutenant General or higher

The 37th Special Operations Regiment is a very important asset of Division "Extraordinaire". The 37th Special Operations Regiment possesses specialized equipment that can be adjusted based on the needs for the next operation. Because of that it is difficult to say what amount of each equipment they exactly use. What can be said is that they´re commonly equipped with specialized gear that is not available to other regular forces. They have lightweight and fast vehicles for quick insertion into an AO but they can also request helicopters from the 123rd Support Regiment, 183rd Logistics Regiment or the SSDF Air Forces if required.. Because of their size and equipment the 28th Special Operations Regiment is not well prepared for conventional warfare against regular forces. They usually operate behind enemy lines to sabotage important facilities or equipment, eliminate designated military personnel and to gather intel.

### 123rd Support Regiment (1 000 Soldiers)

Ideal rank for commanding officer: Lieutenant General or higher

The 123rd Support Regiment is mainly used to provide all sorts of fire support for the other units of Division "Extraordinaire". It possess a variety of weapons capable of providing medium and long distance fire support. The Regiment also possesses some attack helicopters and a few CAS planes. The 123rd Support Regiment usually sets up in a safe location behind the front line or within the AO and provides fire support to friendly units as required. Due to the high amount of soldiers the 123rd Support Regiment is capable of protecting itself from enemy attacks while on the battlefield without the assistance of other units. But the Regiment won´t able to gain the upper hand or survive a very long time against a proper ground combat formation. Additionally the 123rd Support Regiment is responsible for the treatment and evacuation of wounded SSDF soldiers.
