Batallones de Lucha Irregulare.*
*
There are thirteen Irregular Warfare Battalions (Batallones de Lucha Irregulares--BLI) created to fight against the Contra rebels. The BLIs are lightly armed, highly mobile, quick-reaction forces trained in counterguerrilla tactics. Soviet-supplied helicopters are used to quickly insert the BLIs into trouble zones, and to carry out operations in depth against the Contras.*

"Group" formations*
*
*
"Group" formations like this one have been designed to maximize game Command & Control (C&C) in order to more accurately depict the better training and elite status of the troops.*
*
Instead of the usual one large formation, with one leader having to rally the entire formation, these "Groups" have been designed with one or more small subformations, so there are one or more additional leaders that can help rally the troops.  This also allows the formation to split up (as per the subformations) and maintain good C&C.  Otherwise, in a single large formation design, the entire formation must stay together in order to maintain good C&C.*

Please see the Game Guide for more information about Command & Control.*
*
These "Group" formations are considered to be "companies" by the game, and so cannot be attached to another company.
