The major characteristic that distinguishes the AFFS from the other Inner Sphere militaries has for a very long time been the organizational efficiency with which the AFFS operates. This is evident in the manner in which the disparate elements of the military coordinate and work well together, a shared spirit of teamwork making the whole greater than the sum of the individual parts. In the first half of the thirty-first century, First Prince [[Melissa Davion]] capitalized on this when she invented the AFFS military organization known as the [[Regimental Combat Team]] - not to be confused with the much earlier [[Star League Defense Force]] organization of the same name. During the Jihad, necessity drove [[Marshal of the Armies]] [[Jon Davion]] to introduce a new formation drawing on many of the same properties and capabilities that made the RCT effective.<ref name="J:FRp95">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 95: "Reorganizing the AFFS"</ref>

The first brigade to make use of the new [[Light Combat Team]] model was the [[Avalon Hussars]], whose performance in the new organization combined with the portability and flexibility of the LCT saw it become the model for the AFFS in the post-Jihad era. With many front line commands restructured into LCTs, some formations remained in the larger RCT format to act as the big stick for dealing with particularly troublesome neighbors. The ease with which the reforms were made is both a testament to the success of the LCT and a chilling statement on the damage inflicted on the senior ranks of the AFFS by the Jihad. With major reforms going on and talented officers being promoted two or even three ranks because of the number of open posts, the reorganization conducted in the early [[3080]]s marked the biggest change in the structure of the AFFS since its initial incorporation.<ref name="J:FRp95"/>
