[RFC] Space Patrol Section 6 Organisation - Warringer - 12-19-2011
Currently lead by Andy Cramer, code-named "Nanoha", FESWAT handles the really difficult jobs. Section 6 is proud of being the group that gets the dirty end of the stick - they're tough enough, and good enough, and stubborn enough to get in there and get the job done. Bulletproof biomods and androids who join the Patrol often get assigned to FESWAT.
Section 6's biggest job during the Boskone War was their participation in the cleaning-out of the Hell-Hole in Space.
The Organization of Section 6 is based on practices and experiences of decades of actual operations, with Chief Cramer being a former Navy SEAL and at least two former SWAT members in the upper command of Section 6.
Section 6 is organized in three Subsections.
Section 6.1: Logistics and Reconnaissance
Utilizing means of human and signal intelligence, this subsection is the backbone of the entire Section, gathering intelligence about a target and planning an operation.
Section 6.2: Operations
Based around smaller units of four people, Operations is responsible for dealing with the 'everyday' needs of Space Partol, normally supporting local law enforcement units on larger settlements throughout Fenspace. Most Operative Teams have a fixed base of operation in local Space Patrol offices, while others are mobile.
All mobile Operative Teams are based in the White Tower when not on active duty.
Section 6.3: Special Operations
Based around four Operational Units, FESWAT Unit 1 through 4, with two teams of four operators and two sniper teams of sniper and spotter, they have access to one of the four Star Clippers of Section 6.
Each FESWAT Unit is based in the White Tower and are directed to any larger operation needing heavy support, or smaller operations with greater operational secrecy.

Section 6.1 is most likely overlapping with Section 7b (Technical Unit, also computer hackers and information gathering). *nod*

Section 6.1 also overlaps with Section 1c (the Space Patrol's Logistics group). But that's okay - Special Weapons groups have different requirements than the rest of the police.
Just for consistency's sake, I'd recommend calling them Section 6a instead of Section 6.1, though. (And 6.2 would be 6b, and so on.)

Most likely both Section 1 and Section 7 are 'orthogonal' to the other sections, because every other section needs special parts of 1/7.
