−	The SABRE Detachment assigned to a vessel or station will consist of a single platoon. A single platoon overall holds a maximum number of forty soldiers. However this number will vary among different classes of ships within the fleet. With smaller classes have a minimum number having only twelve soldiers (for example Defiant, Nova and Sabre class ships) and larger vessels carrying the maximum number.

Sabre Corps

Following the devastating troop losses during the Borg War the Federation’s Marine Corps was absorbed along with several other smaller organizations into a new Federation Mobile Infantry armed service encompassing most planetary based assault and protection duties. This change left a hole the marines filled as starship based special recon and assault troops. Starfleet requested the FMI to fill that role again by activating a little-known corps of special ops teams called SABRE. Standing for S.pecial A.ssault, B.oarding, R.econ, and E.vasion. SABRE Corps teams were to be assigned to outward bound starships on a case by case basis due to the organization's low number of trained available recruits.

Currently the whole SABRE Corps is under the command of Brigader General Michael Vesuvious.

The SABRE Detachment assigned to a vessel or station will consist of a single Operational Detahment Alpha (ODA or "A-Team"). These twelve man teams are the front line units of the SABRE Corps, operating wherever needed. They are very well trained and highly dangerous units when operating in a combat role.

With smaller classes (for example Defiant, Nova and Sabre class ships) carrying only the ODA, larger vessels will also carry an Operational Detachment Bravo (ODB or "B-Team"). This eleven man team acts as headquarters, and command and control for the "A-Team" in the field.

Body armour is also etched in to the jackets and shirts of the uniform. The dress uniform for the SABRE Soldiers is a variant on the standard Starfleet dress uniform.

What all this hopefully means is FE's Sabre unit will be a highly flexible, superbly trained fighting force, ready to be utilised by Starfleet in its relatively weakened state within the FE timeline.
