=== Star League Era ===
During the [[Star League era]] the '''Eighteenth Galedon Regulars''' shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Galedon Regulars, due to the threat posed by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. This common structure saw the Fifteenth assigned a group of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced [[aerospace fighter]] [[Wing (Formation)|wing]]. Second only to the [[Sword of Light]] regiments in priority, the various Galedon Regulars regiments had excellent levels of supplies, and a high level of access to new [[BattleMech]]s and equipment.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp12"/>

=== Star League Era ===
 
Due to the high number of [[Sun Zhang Military Academy]] and [[Galedon Military Academy]] recruits within the Galedon Regulars, the Regulars often displayed fanatical loyalty and courage. However, the elitism displayed by these same recruits led to poor coordination between the Regulars and the attached convention forces, who were often used as cannon fodder.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp12"/>
