The regiment was established as a unique infantry regiment of the
Central Readiness Force. Unlike the
1st Airborne Brigade being a unique
airborne force, the regiment has adopted a
table of organization and equipment similar to that of an infantry regiment with three rifle
companies. However, it has developed specialized organization of its own for special missions, including a
military engineering company being established in 2017 and an
explosive ordnance disposal team in 2019. All of the soldiers in this regiment have volunteered to be transferred, and many are qualified as
paratrooper or
ranger. The regiment is equipped with
armoured fighting vehicles similar to other infantry regiments, including
Komatsu LAV and
Type 96 armored personnel carrier. In addition, the regiment also is equipped with unique equipment to prepare for
military operations other than war overseas, such as
Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles for
non-combatant evacuation operations and
Long-range acoustic devices as
non-lethal weapons. In August 25, 2019, an
IHI Aerospace-made
unmanned ground vehicle was deployed at the 2019 Fuji Firepower demonstration for explosive ordnance disposal missions. File:USMC-110212-M-2155E-002.jpg|A CRR soldier during the multi-national
