NOTES: Brigade has actually four Naval infantry battalions but
one of them has air assault training and Russian doctrine calls 
that one third of Naval infantry has parachute training, one
third attacks with helicopters and one third moves by land or 
sea to operating area. For that reason the fourth battalion
is called here Naval Air Assault Battalion.
