* 102nd Training Company Raider Companies have four operational Platoons: A, B, C and D. Each Platoon consists of approximately 60 men, divided into four squads and a small headquarters section. Troops usually consist of 16 men, and each patrol within a troop consists of four men, with each man possessing a particular skill: signals, demolition, medic or linguist in addition to basic skills learned during the course of his training. The four troops specialise in four different areas:
* Boat squad — are specialists in maritime skills using scuba diving, kayaks and Rigid-hulled inflatable boats and often train with the Special Boat Service.
* Air squad — are experts in free fall parachuting, High Altitude-Low Opening (HALO) and High Altitude-High Opening (HAHO) techniques.
* Mobility squad — are specialists in using vehicles and are experts in desert warfare; they are also trained in an advanced level of motor mechanics to field-repair any vehicular breakdown.
* Mountain troop — are specialists in Arctic and Mountain combat and survival, using specialist equipment such as skis, snowshoes and mountain climbing techniques. Support Companies also deploy four Platoons each, also divided into four squads. However, Platoons belonging to Support Companies are trained to operate as a whole force, each squad being capable to substitute other colleagues which are not avalaible for the action: therefore there is not any specialization, but all company soldier are required to be able to perform demolition, irruption, exploring and other duties. It is to note that, while Raider Companies are identical in structure, they cannot operate independently without the Support Companies: for example, each Raider Company deploys only one Boat Squad, while the whole 230th Support Company is specialized into maritime environments. Anyway, it would be a mistake considering the 2nd Battalion as less specialized or less trained than 1st Battalion: assignments to operational Battalions are made after training and are 1st and 2nd Battalion soldiers often change their Battalion memberships.
