The unit contains mainly second line equipment and the Star Colonel use the knowlege about the weapons of each machine to great effect. In the planning phase the Commander can select the right machines for the matching situation. During battles the radio traffic is reduced to a minimum and this fact make their opponent insecure. Eletronical Warfare is also useless.<ref name=FMWC146/>
