+      <h2>Divisions</h2>
+      <p>
+        The 174th Battle Group is organised into three distinct divisions:
+        Naval, Marine, and Auxiliary. This structure reflects the fundamentally
+        different operational environments and skill sets required to execute
+        the full spectrum of the group's missions.
+      </p>
+
+      <section id="naval-division">
+        <h3>Naval</h3>
+        <p>
+          The Naval division encompasses all personnel whose primary role
+          involves the operation, command, or crew of spacecraft. This includes
+          pilots, navigators, engineers, and fleet commanders. Naval personnel
+          are responsible for projecting force across space, maintaining control
+          of key transit corridors, and providing fire support and transport
+          capability to the broader group.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          A dedicated naval structure is necessary because ship operations
+          demand a distinct chain of command, specialised technical knowledge,
+          and a culture built around vessel readiness and fleet coordination.
+          Conflating ship crews with ground forces would dilute accountability
+          and obscure the specific competencies each role demands.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section id="marine-division">
+        <h3>Marine</h3>
+        <p>
+          The Marine division encompasses all personnel whose primary role
+          involves ground combat, boarding actions, facility assault or defence,
+          and close-quarters operations. Marines are the group's primary
+          fighting force on foot, responsible for securing objectives that
+          cannot be taken from orbit alone.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          A separate marine structure is necessary because ground and boarding
+          operations require a different tactical doctrine, equipment standard,
+          and leadership model to ship-based roles. Marines must train and
+          operate independently of the fleet while remaining able to integrate
+          seamlessly with Naval assets — a relationship that works best when
+          each division has its own coherent hierarchy and identity.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section id="auxiliary-division">
+        <h3>Auxiliary</h3>
+        <p>
+          The Auxiliary division encompasses all personnel whose primary role
+          involves enabling the operational effectiveness of the Naval and
+          Marine divisions. This includes logistics coordinators, medical
+          personnel, miners, salvagers, engineers, and intelligence analysts.
+          Auxiliary personnel ensure the group can sustain itself independently,
+          maintain its assets, and generate the resources required for prolonged
+          operations.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          A dedicated auxiliary structure is necessary because enablement roles
+          require their own doctrine, career progression, and leadership chain.
+          Embedding auxiliary personnel into operational divisions risks
+          subordinating their work to short-term tactical priorities; a separate
+          division ensures that logistics, medical readiness, and resource
+          generation receive sustained command attention and are treated as
+          strategic priorities in their own right.
