	The 597th does not have any organic heavy artillery or tanks. They have four line companies of mechanized infantry (1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th) and one logistic support company (3rd).

	On Gravalax, the newly formed 597th paraded into the capital with their infantry dismounted, and Cain remarked at a "thousand pairs of boots slapping the pavement". Assuming ten-man squads, with 8 dismounts per vehicle in two fire teams plus driver and gunner, this would amount to ~125 Chimeras worth of infantry. Based on this, it's likely that their four line companies each consist of five platoons and a company HQ squad, each platoon consisting of five squads plus a command fire team (totaling 6 Chimeras per platoon, 31 per company). It IS known they use command teams as low as the platoon level, as (then) Lt Sulla led her "doughty quartet" in a high risk flanking maneuver to free one of her pinned down squads in her first action in the 597th.

This meant, for example, that every soldier in the regiment could be issued a commbead, which were typically reserved for squad leaders and above in other Guard regiments.
