Correct Terminology
The correct name for the formation is 1st Raider/Paratrooper Brigade, 1畏 韦螒螢螝螖-螒螞 (1畏 韦伪尉喂伪蟻蠂委伪 K伪蟿伪未蟻慰渭蠋谓-螒位蔚尉喂蟺蟿蠅蟿喂蟽蟿蠋谓) - 1 TAXKD-AL (1 Taxiarhia Katadromon-Alexiptotiston). The term "Commando" is not used in any official capacity in the Hellenic Army. Members of this brigade are "Raiders" (Katadromeas, Katadromeis); in addition, the term "Squadron" is used to denote the battalion-sized units that make up the Brigade, not "Battalion".

The correct formation is as follows -
480th Signal Battalion (480慰 韦螖螔 - 480 Tagma Diavivaseon)
13th Signal Company (13慰蟼 螞螖螔 - 13 Lohos Diavivaseon)
2nd Paratrooper Regiment (2慰 危螒螞 - 2 Syntagma Alexiptotiston),organized in
1st Paratrooper Squadron (1畏 螠螒螞 - 1 Mira Alexiptotiston)
2nd Paratrooper Squadron (2畏 螠螒螞 - 2 Mira Alexiptotiston)
Special Paratrooper Unit (ETA - Eidiko Tmima Alexiptotiston)
In addition, the history section refers to the history of the LOK in general, and not of this particular unit, which is of far more recent creation. It should be clarified that the current unit was established recently as an umbrella for all LOK formations. Someone knowledgeable enough should elaborate on this.

Structure
The structure shown is not accurate. The regimental HQs do not exist, and haven't existed for two decades. The brigade has five battalions (B,D,E raider battalions and 1,2 paratrooper battalions), all directly under the brigade, the 14 signals company, the briagde HQ company and two company-sized training bases. ETA or any other unit do not belong to the brigade. The nominal strength of the brigade is around 2400 men.
