The Ice Hellions largely follow the standard [[Clan]] model in organizing their [[Cluster]]s, with five [[Trinary|Trinaries]] of three [['Mech]], one [[aerospace fighter|aerospace]], and one [[Elemental]].  Front-line Clusters receive the best equipment and warriors, including the most number of [[OmniMechs]] and [[OmniFighter]]s, and are with rare exceptions all [[trueborn]].  Second-line Clusters make due with less, taking longer to receive supplies and repairs, and contain a larger number of [[freeborn]] warriors alongside aging or disgraced trueborns.  They also contain fewer OmniMechs, which are reserved for experienced trueborn commanders.  Both front-line and second-line Clusters emphasize the Ice Hellion philosophy of swift attack and agile response on the battlefield, and so rely heavily on light- to medium-weight 'Mechs; heavy and assault machines are often used for garrison duty, again with a preference to speed over armor.<ref name=FMCC79>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 79</ref><ref name=FMCC81>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 81</ref>

Since its founding the Clan traditionally uses light and medium weight 'Mechs, with the aptly-named ''[[Hellion]]'' serving as their primary machine.  A small portion of heavy and assault weight 'Mechs are also produced, primarily for garrison duties, although these too favor speed over armor with designs such as the ''[[Gargoyle]]'' and ''[[Linebacker]]'' within their ''touman''.  The aerospace assets initially consigned to the Clan were also primarily light and medium weight fighters, although this put the Clan as a disadvantage in dogfighting and eventually were forced to adopted heavier designs, with a preference towards the ''[[Visigoth]]'' and ''[[Sabutai]]''.

Where they are used at all Ice Hellion [[infantry]] will either be equipped with [[Battle Armor]] or, if garrison or ''[[solahma]]'' units, be outfitted with [[jump pack]]s or mechanized transport.<ref name=FMCC81>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 81</ref>  The general disdain for infantry also meant Ice Hellion [[Elementals]] were on average smaller compared to other Clans' bloodlines.<ref>''MechWarrior's Guide to the Clans'', p. 24</ref>
  
−
Favoring smaller, more agile Warriors, Clan Ice Hellion failed to develop their Elemental infantry; Clan Ice Hellion subsequently under-utilizes Elementals compared with other Clans.  When the Elemental was introduced in the mid 2800s, the Hellions attempted to acquire genetic material and breeding protocols to produce larger, stronger soldiers, but were thwarted by Clan Hell's Horses.  Instead, the Hellions recruited Freeborns to serve as infantry, while the Scientist Caste worked to miniaturize [[battle armor]] and improve protocols.  While Clan Ice Hellion has been successful breeding smaller trueborn Elemental infantry, Warriors in the Clan maintain a lingering disdain, left by the combination of past freeborn infantry and their lack of battlefield finnese.<ref name=FMCC76>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 76</ref>  Where they are used at all, Ice Hellion [[infantry]] will either be equipped with battle armor or, if garrison or ''[[solahma]]'' units, be outfitted with [[jump pack]]s or mechanized transport.<ref name=FMCC81 /> The general disdain for infantry also meant Ice Hellion [[Elementals]] were on average smaller compared to other Clans' bloodlines.<ref>''MechWarrior's Guide to the Clans'', p. 24</ref>

Unique to the Ice Hellions was the creation of so-called '''Flurry''' clusters in the wake of the Hellion's Fury campaign in order to hold onto their newly-captured territory.  Little more than cannon fodder, Flurry units are loose groupings of mostly freeborns, along with relatively few aging or disgraced truborns, whose only job is to hold an area until proper units can arrive.  While organized loosely along standard Cluster lines, the vast majority of a Flurry unit's forces are fast attack hovercraft and VTOLs, with approximately five percent piloting salvaged or decrepit 'Mechs.  On occasion these ad hoc units have managed to give a good showing themselves, at least long enough for reinforcements to arrive.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clanes'', p. 80</ref>  By [[3067]] the number of Flurry units had not only grown, but more and more have proven themselves capable combat units despite the natural Clan bias against [[combat vehicle]]s, with more of these units spread out amongst the Clan's [[Galaxy|Galaxies]].<ref name=FMU46>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 46</ref>
