The DDS Army now has a navy (of sorts). The Maritime Support Regiment will operate in riverine and littoral areas in support of land units. 42 small craft and 8 hovercraft have been purchased for the new force which will take at it's core troops from the General DDS who already operate in "wet" areas.
A DDS Army spokeswoman said the MSR would operate mainly in patrol and security operations in water areas near DDS installations (some DDS bases on Proxima 5 in particular are near to the coast or rivers) but there would also be at least 1 Prowler unit trained in marine operations.
