Battle Group Clusters

Battle Group Cluster



Fleets are organized in three Sections : 
 * 1)  Admin and HQ Section,
 * 2)  Battle Group Command,
 * 3)  Special & Support Craft.

 A Fleet is usually commanded by a Two or Three Star Admiral. Battle Group Command is divided into 4 Battle Group Clusters ( BGC) and each BGC is traditionally associated with a Color (Red, Green, Blue and Yellow). Each BGC is under the Command of a One Star Admiral. Each Battle Group is usually commanded by a Commodore.

Union Fleet Command - Strategic General Order 5 to Fleets is to keep at least 2 Battle Group Clusters in full fighting strength (Usually Red and Green) and use Blue and Yellow for Reserves, Repairs and Upgrades. So it can happen that ships scheduled for Upgrades repairs etc rotate to another BGC. (or vice versa)

BGC -Headquarters are usually Ship board the BGC- Command Ship

The Battle Cluster Command Ship is special named for example the BC Command Ship For the red BGC of the 3rd Fleet is the USS Third-Red. The Battle Cluster Command Ship Blue of the 45th Fleet is the USS Forty Five-Blue
