The Star Army's Fifth Fleet utilizes several different division types in order to properly perform its duties. General Support divisions are tasked with making sure the other divisions are properly supported in a logistical sense, as well as providing for the basic needs of soldiers whom are not in combat. Support Divisions do not actively engage in combat.
Support Divisions serve several roles, from logistics and transport, to food preparation and other caretaking needs.
Combat transport units utilize armored and armed transports in order to move troops and supplies around the battlefield. almost entirely dependent on Infantry and armor units for defense and survival, these units are regardless very important to the battlefield, and if they are unable to reach combat units, a push can be stopped, a retreat can fall into disarray, or a siege broken. As such, these units are essential to the battlefield, even if they do not engage in combat themselves.
Utilizing trucks of various sizes, non-combat transport is used for moving of cargoes behind the battle lines, to and from bases, and around non-combat areas. These vehicles are unarmored and usually unarmored, and are therefore too vulnerable to be used during combat, but can move heavier loads more efficiently.
While the first medical unit an injured soldier will see is likely a combat medic, for more specialized procedures and life saving from heavy injuries is done by the Medical support staff. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, and the like, the Medical staff takes care of illness, injuries, wounds, soul transfers, Mental backups, and reviving of dead soldiers.
Mess staff are in charge of feeding the multitudes of soldiers upon starships and bases. Their job is to provide nutritional, tasty food in order to keep the soldiers running both in and out of combat. Mess staff are all trained cooks and chefs, and versed in providing food for large groups as well as providing individual meals on a smaller scale.
Caretaking staff are in charge of such tasks as Laundry, general clean up, and other domestic duties. they make sure that soldiers are provided with clean uniforms and healthy living conditions, and provide a high standard of living for soldiers as they are able.
Logistical officers are charged with keeping track of the large amounts of supplies and equipment used by the Fifth fleet. They must keep track of usage, take care of procurement, and make sure that supplies are delivered where they are needed in a timely manner. The cornerstone of a military, logistical officers make sure that the gears keep turning, and allow all the other units to operate without worry.
