Torlen falls under the [[Navy_of_Burgundie#Levantine_Ocean_Command|Levantine Ocean Command (LEVCOM)]], the [[Army of Burgundie|Metropole Forces Command]], the [[Royal Air Service of Burgundie]]'s Metropole Command, and the [[Vocivine National of Burgundie]]'s Metropolitan Defense Command. Torlen is the headquarters of the [[Navy_of_Burgundie#Levantine_Ocean_Command|Levantine Ocean Command (LEVCOM)]] of the [[Navy of Burgundie]]. It is also the homeport of all of the LEVCOM fleets: Rapid Deployment Group 7 ''[[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Groupement Disembarkement Rapide no. 7'', Expeditionary Strike Squadron Levantia Reach, Carrier Strike Group Meridian, and Sustainment Group Cornucopia. There are 2 massive naval facilities, some of the largest in [[Burgundie]] which provide a substantial portion of the islands economic activity. There are drydocking facilities, refueling, rearmament, and replenishment depots, surface vessel and maritime aircraft repair facilities. These facilities St. Alban and St. Gregory were combined in [[2003]] into Joint Base St. Alban and St. Gregory to reduce the financial burden of running them separately and to allow for the use of the basing facilities by the [[Revenue Guard]], [[Army of Burgundie]], [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]], and the [[Vocivine National of Burgundie]]. | |||
