A Costa Megion infantry squad is comprised of ten soldiers, led by a Sargento. The Sargento is assisted by a dedicated radio operator who is also armed with a standard rifle, generally a Fusil Asalto Modello 1993 (FAM-86) assault rifle. The remaining members are divided into two fireteams, both led by a Cabo. Each fireteam has three riflemen all armed with the aforementioned FAM-86 assault rifles, and one of whom will be equipped with a underbarrel grenade launcher. The final member of the fireteam is an automatic riflemen equipped with a Ametralladora Ligera Modello 1986 (ALM-86) light machinegun. Light antitank weapons in the form of the Misil Antitanque Individual Modello 1995 (MAIM-95) are also available for individual solders to carry.

The majority of the Costa Mejian infantry forces are considered motorized infantry and are generally transported by truck. Some units are equipped with the 6x6 Pegaso armoured personnel carrier, and plans to reequip the entirety of the Royal Mejian Army with these fighting vehicles have been discussed. The Pegaso serves as both an armored personal carrier armed with a heavy machine gun, usually a Ametralladora Pesada Modello 1986 (APM-86), and in other roles, including as a wheeled tank destroyer equipped with anti-tank guided missiles, a engineering vehicle, command post, armored ambulance, and mortar carrier
