The Ardennes class is designed to deploy a mechanized infantry battalion (two mechanized infantry companies, an armor company, and a fire support company) reinforced by an artillery company, a VTOL company, and a support company. For those RCTs that include Mechanized Infantry regiments, the outer ring of the Forward Operating Bastion might comprise anywhere from four to sixteen Ardennes dropships.
