The Combat Teams There are currently four Fortress Combat Teams: Anaconda, Battlehawk, Cold Cell and Dark Watch. Here is the structure of the Fortress hierarchy...

Underneath The Head is the Brigadier - directing the combat squad Commanders. Next in line are the Commanders. Each commander controls a number of officers, one of whom serves as his or her 2nd in command - the Lieutenant Then come the Officers - They can be of a grade from G up to A before challenging for the Higher Ranks.
