The Naval Helicopter Wing (NAVHELWING) provides the fleet with combat-capable helicopter units that are not directly assigned to the Fleet Air Component. NAVHELWING squadrons of antisubmarine and utility helicopters are assigned to all other naval formations as detachments, such as shipborne antisubmarine helicopters and utility helicopters. | |||

Ship organization
Organization of warships
Operational formations
The two established types of operational naval formations in the Meridonian Navy are Carrier Task Groups (CTGs) and Amphibious Ready Groups (ARGs). These forces are designated and self-contained combatant forces as opposed to Surface Action Groups, which are normally adhoc and will take ships as needed from standing formations. Carrier Task Groups may vary in size to be smaller or larger than their prescribed units depending on the requirements of a mission. Escorting warships will rotate out of service with a CTG usually after an 18 month to 3 year service with the formation for a low-readiness period. Amphibious Ready Groups do not change in size, although they may be (and regularly are) escorted by other warships. Rarely but occasionally will ships rotate spots from within ARG formations.
Carrier Task Groups
Carrier Task Groups (CTGs) comprise of an aircraft carrier, its embarked airwing, and its escorting warships. By normal doctrine, this will include 1 general purpose (Otapara-class) destroyer, 2 air warfare (Helena-class) destroyers, one frigate (Taga-class), and a nuclear fast attack submarine. This may be reduced or enhanced based off of operational requirements. The aircraft carrier is the only permanently assigned member of the strike group, whose escorts will rotate in on a basis of usually 18 months to 3 years from surface and submarine squadrons. Meridon operates 5 Carrier Task Groups.

Amphibious Ready Groups
Amphibious Ready Groups (ARGs) comprise the maritime sustainment element of Regiment Marines Commando Marine Amphibious Units (MAUs), the expeditionary forces-in-readiness. Amphibious Ready Groups are designed to be able to independently conduct and sustain amphibious operations of any nature unsupported for up to 7 days. Amphibious Ready Groups, while often escorted by warships, do not include them in their integral organization. Amphibious Ready Groups consist of three ships- a landing platform dock (normally of the Argos-class), which serves as the primary transport of infantry and vehicles and as flagship; a landing helicopter dock (of the Maratea-class) which carries the ARG's aviation element; and a landing ship dock (Hemana-class) which carries a large amount of its supplies.

Surface Squadrons
Surface Squadrons (SUFRONs) are normally composed of 4 to 5 guided missile destroyers or frigates. SUFRONs are administrative, logistical and control units, and rarely (if ever) deploy as a full operational unit. Surface squadrons more regularly contribute forces to standing operational groups or ad-hoc groups in the form of surface action groups.
The Navy currently has 9 surface squadrons, 5 consisting of destroyers and 4 consisting of frigates.

Submarine Squadrons
Submarine squadrons are composed of 5 submarines per squadron and are purely an administrative and logistical formation- as such, submarine squadrons do not have flagships and do not conduct operations as an operational unit. The exception to this rule is in 3 Submarine Squadron, which contains the Navy's 4 Barracuda-class guided missile submarines; who have conducted combined operations in the past as part of operational evaluations in their capacity as strategic weapons platforms- however they do not regularly, nor does doctrine call for, their massed employment. The other submarine squadrons are composed of Moray-class nuclear fast attack submarines and Orca-class diesel electric submarines. The former of which normally conduct patrols beyond Meridonian waters, the latter of which generally remain within range of Meridon. Meridon currently maintains 6 submarine squadrons- 3 nuclear-powered, 2 diesel electric and one of nuclear-powered guided missile submarines.

Auxiliary and non-major warships
The Naval Mine Countermeasures Group is a grouping of 6 minehunters operationally maintained for mine clearance operations. Normally, ships in this formation will operate as detachments where required operationally, and there are provisions for the group to sortie as a whole, though it is unlikely to operationally conduct such a mission.

Assault Craft Squadrons
Assault Craft squadrons are organizational and training groupings of AV20 Landing Craft Combatant landing craft. Normally, these vehicles will embark with ARGs to provide ship-to-shore connection, however their long range allows them to conduct some stand-off operations- they are regularly used as ferry vessels for military equipment within the Meridonian archipelago. They are not considered commissioned vessels and do not have billeted commanding officers, but they remain on the Navy Roster regardless.

Fleet Replenishment Groups
Replenishment groups serve primarily as locational grouping of fleet fast replenishment (FRS) vessels, and are not an operational organization. Three such groups exist containing Meridon's 7 fast fleet replenishment vessels.

Unsorted Vessels
As of current, the only unsorted major vessel of the Meridonian Navy is the Mercy, a converted Hemana-class dock landing ship that was converted to conduct humanitarian and medical duties.
Flying units
Type Commands
Type Commands serve as the organizational and administrative control groups for various aircraft squadrons- they are primarily responsible for ensuring forces are equipped, trained, and provisioned to conduct operations with their operational command units. Type Commands do not operate as operational groups, but serve to ensure readiness, create and maintain doctrine, and enhance fleet operational efficiency.
Navy Tactical Air Command (NAVTACAIRCOM) provides the fleet Carrier Task Groups with combat-ready fixed-wing aircraft squadrons. This command comprises all naval fighter, electronic attack, and airborne control squadrons.
Sea Control Command
Sea Control Command (NAVSEATROLCOM) provides the fleet with long-range maritime patrol, surveillance and reconnaissance squadrons. This command comprises all maritime patrol squadrons, including unmanned squadrons.
Naval Helicopter Command (NAVHELCOM) furnishes the fleet with operationally-capable rotary wing squadrons accomplishing a wide variety of missions. This command includes general utility, antisubmarine, mine countermeasures, and unmanned reconnaissance helicopter squadrons. Utility and antisubmarine helicopter squadrons normally deploy as detachments on major warship formations.
Naval Airlift Command (NAVARLFTCOM) provides the fleet with tactical, routine and nonroutine transport of personnel, supplies and material, and conducts airlift, sustainment, VIP transport, carrier onboard delivery, and other such operations. This command comprises of all naval tactical logistics squadrons, transport squadrons, and logistic squadrons.
Education and Training Command
Naval Air Education and Training Command (NAVAIREDTRAINCOM) prepares, trains, and supplies fleet operational squadrons with mission-ready naval aviators and aircrew. This command comprises of all naval air training squadrons.
Special Mission Forces
Naval Special Mission Forces (NAVSPECMISFOR) provides special operations aviation forces to the fleet, and consists of all special missions and special missions transport squadrons.
Operational Commands
Operational commands organize mission-ready forces into scalable, deployable formations for availability for commanders to carry out missions. As opposed to type commands, operational commands house functional, mission-capable units under their auspices and are therefore responsible for ensuring mission completion and availability.
Fleet Air Component
The Fleet Air Component (FLTAIRCOMP) comprises all carrier-based aviation units assigned to the 5 Carrier Air Groups (CAGs) aboard the Navy's aircraft carriers, including fighter, electronic attack, airborne control and helicopter units. Each Carrier Air Group is assigned to its numerically corresponding Carrier Task Group- Carrier Air Group 3 would be assigned to Carrier Task Group 3, and so forth.
