Structure
As with all armoured regiments the structure was based around the Squadron concept. The number of troops in a squadron changed and so did the number of squadrons but the basic premise remained and still remains the same.
Headquarter Squadron (HQ Sqn) - command, control and administration. Recce and Guided Weapons troops were also a component part of HQ Sqn.
A Squadron (D of E Sqn) - Sabre*
B Squadron (B Sqn) - Sabre
C Squadron (C Sqn) - Sabre
D Squadron (D Sqn) - Sabre
* The designation "Sabre" indicates a fighting squadron, a throwback to the days of horses.

Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.”
