Branches
The structure of our Battlefield 3 clan is based on a Landing Helicopter Assault ship (LHA). We are a Navy and Marine Corps clan. Our Marine Corps branch exists for those players that like to run and gun, get kills and blow stuff up. Since Marines do not have “medics” in real-life, and instead are provided “Corpsmen” from the United States Navy, IMF also features a Navy branch for those players who are more focused on keeping their teammates alive than running and gunning.

Ranks
Field Grade / Senior Officers – All officers in the clan are either qualified Commander Players (capable of commanding eight squads in a full 64-player match) or are qualified fixed-wing pilots. Field Grade (Marine Corps) or Senior Officers (Navy) are the chief administrators of the clan.
