The ten new regiments were almost identical in composition when founded; each consisted of ten [[company|companies]] of [['Mechs]], with those ten companies being comprised of five companies of assorted heavy and medium weight 'Mechs - predominantly ''[[Archer]]s'', ''[[Dervish]]es'', ''[[Warhammer]]s'' and ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverines]]'' - three companies of lightweight designs (typically ''[[Locust]]s'' and ''[[Wasp]]s'') organized as a recon [[battalion]] and two assault companies equipped mainly with ''[[BattleMaster]]s''.<ref name="FR2765:FSp18"/>
