"Ladies and Gentlemen of all species, you have chosen to take up arms in the name of the Republic. You have sought a path to defend your home worlds, to protect and hold liberty and justice above all. Soldiers and Warriors welcome to the Expeditionary Strike Brigade. We shall respond to the call of war against those who would seek to tear down civilization. They shall hear our voices as we bellow the cry we've held so deeply that unites us. For the Republic!" - General Kista Fel
The ESB is built up of four elements. Those elements are the Command Element, Ground Combat Element, Aviation Combat Element, and Logistics Combat Element.
Command Element
The Command Element consists of a Headquarters and its Staff that exercises command and control over all elements of the ESB. While the Headquarters and Staff direct all elements that fall under their respective areas of command the HQ is supported by a company capable of performing military police actions, along with special reconnaissance units, and special detachments assigned to support the brigade's mission.

The primary roles for the ACE are: assault support, anti-air/space warfare, offensive air/space support, electronic warfare, control of air/spacecraft and missiles, aerial/orbital/space (AOS) reconnaissance.

With the reliance on the ACE the LCE is primarily responsible for the following missions: Orbital to surface delivery, Aerial delivery, EOD, and landing support teams.
