* The battalion does not have a fixed structure. The size of a SPF company in an army-level battalion differs greatly from the company size in a battalion of an SPF brigade. The total number of teams an army-level SPF battalion can deploy varies from 9 to 15. However, an SPF battalion in an SPF brigade can deploy from 27 to 30 teams. The number of teams deployed generally depends on the team size required for specific missions.
