A canonical list of Chernarus Defense Forces maneuver brigades

A total of 13 Chernarus Defense Forces maneuver brigades are currently deployed throughout Chernarus.  These units are in varying states of readiness and composition.

Like CDF army corps, Chernarus army brigades are often task organized.  One brigade may have as many as five battalions and as few as three, pending on the mission, and those units will have a non standard mix of rifle and tank battalions.  Oftentimes if a brigade which are deployed away from the front will have as few as two battalions.

Another ten maneuver brigades exist to provide replacements and reinforcements.  These brigades form the Chernarus army strategic reserve in the case of a general war.

Chernarus Defense Forces (CDF) Light Rifle Brigade

A Chernarusian Light Rifle Brigade consists of four to five light rifle battalions with a total of 528 effectives per battalion.

Every light rifle company has a heavy weapons platoon with four each DShk 12.7mm machine guns with an infantry mount, and four each DShk 12,7mm machine guns with an antiaircraft mount.  Four SPG-9s round out the heavy weapons platoon.  Transport for the heavy weapons unit is normally through the battalion's support company transport vehicles, but all weapons can be transported manually short distances.

Every light rifle battalion has an attached recon company with a total of four UAZs and  30 effectives. The unit also has an antitank company which includes two UAZs, two DShK UAZs, eight SPG-9 UAZs and four AT-13 UAZs.

An artillery regiment with 12 122mm towed artillery, 6 BM-21s and 82mm mortars, and an engineer company is held at brigade HQs.  The engineer unit has a bridging unit and a sapper platoon.

One battalion, typically the 3rd battalion, is trained in parachute and airmobile operations.

Chernarusian flag officers typically will cross attach tank and motorized rifle units with light rifle units.

Chernarus Naval Land Forces TO&E

The Chernarus Navy (CNF) maintains two naval infantry brigades, the 2nd and the 3rd Naval Infantry Brigades.

The 2nd Naval Infantry Brigade consists of  two heavy (BTR-60)  battalions organized similarly to Chernarus Defense Forces (CDF) motorized rifle battalions.  Two battalions are light and organized similarly to CDF light rifle battalions.  The 2nd NIBde has one round out category 3 heavy battalion, which can be mobilized in emergencies.

One light battalion is trained in parachute, air mobile  as well as sea landing operations.

The 3nd Naval Infantry Brigade also consists of two heavy battalions, and three light battalions.  Similar to the 2nd NIBde, the 3rd NIBde, one battalion is trained in parachute, air mobile and sea landings.

The two brigades are assigned to geographical commands with the 2nd deployed in eastern Chernarus and in southern Napf.  The 3nd NIBde is the CNF reserve and is deployed near Miroslavl.

The CNF does not have amphibious ships that can be used to land heavy equipment, and so naval commanders must have a port, and rely on commercial freighters to transport and deploy their heavy battalions.

Since the brigades do not have an organic tank unit, antitank operations are conducted by the CNF's naval aviation regiment, or by attached CDF tank units.  Brigades do not have any organic heavy artillery, and so must rely on naval guns from the three frigates in the navy's inventory.  All naval infantry commanders down to the  company level trained extensively on spotting naval artillery.
