Here is a table showing how a typical ANAD Detachment is set up, according to its various ratings and specialties.  Most Quantum Corps missions use some variation of this arrangement. 
A few explanations are in order.

Most Quantum Corps missions involve detachments of anywhere from 6-12 personnel.  Not all ratings require backups in the Detachment, but many do.  CC1 is always an officer, usually a Lieutenant (02).   Often, CC2s are deleted from the mission, but another rating will provide backup command and control functions. 

For larger, more complex or decidely more dangerous missions, larger detachments are created based on this initial structure. 

It is normal Corps practice to provide considerable cross-training within this detachment structure, so that one rating can perform his own specialized tasks and back up another rating in his or her tasks.  As an example, DPS1 might also know enough signature control techniques to effectively fill in as an SDC2.  A great deal of flexibility is maintained in this manner.

The next post will cover weapons and related equipment normally assigned to a typical ANAD detachment.
